Re: How many pages would make a reasonable chapter?
I wouldn't stress over the page number too much. I've seen books of similar size and fonts have chapters with different volumes of pages, some with as low as two pages per chapter, some with ten or higher. Just make sure the story is sectioned off properly. A fair way to think about it is to break each chapter off when a big event or revelation occurs. 
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

You shouldn't have to try and make your chapters a certain length, just do whatever you feel works best for the book.

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

I've seen a chapter as one paragragraph.
What book was that?
