for your own debugging sanity, you'll likely want to have a supervisor
function which calls the chapter functions in order. There's nothing
technically wrong with what you're doing, as long as you don't exceed
the maximum recursion depth, but it's a pain to debug and takes up a
whole bunch of memory you don't need.
