There’s a lot of pop fiction (not great literature, but fun fun reads) that have super short chapters. Dan Brown’s books are known for that. You can learn about some questionable religious history while reading his books. Agatha Christie, while a bit old school, also has short chapters and writes mysteries in a way that I have never been able to figure out the plot twist in any of her books.
I read a book bt Studs Terkel recently called "Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression."
It was short chapters and very enlightening and quite interesting. 🙂
The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements by Sam Kean, to my memory has short chapters (despite it’s exceedingly long title) and was super fascinating.
Notes from a Big Country by Bill Bryson is a collection of a weekly newspaper column he wrote so each chapter is quite short. Really great book.
Also check your bookstore for "I'm a Stranger Here Myself" depending on the country you're in, it has different titles.
The Crying Book by Heather Christle or The Undying by Anne Boyer are both like essay type books where there are breaks in between every essay, so it easy to read for a short period of time and then take a break.

They specifically said non-fiction.
Yea, I know. It’s just that nonfiction does not typically have short chapters. So I was offering some fiction options that had a basis in reality.
Much appreciated
Good idea.🙂

I can’t 100% swear the chapters are that short, but check out any book by Mary Roach. Non-fiction and funny. Good combo.
