When reading a book, do you?

Read it from beginning to end or read the last couple of pages first to find out the results of the book.

Okay, I must confess here, I read the last couple of pages and have ever since I began reading years ago.

Dd is now doing the same!

What about you?

I get to about half-way and then, YES I LOOK!! Is this a terrible habit or what!?! I've tried and tried not to peek, but I always do. I'm sooooo glad someone else does.

I read it from start to end.
I usally read happy ending type books so I am pretty sure it all ends up ok in the end!

That's me all over! Many a time dh has asked me what I was doing as I stand at the stove, book in hand, stirring something in a pot!

Read from start to finish unless it's about to be overdue at the library. Then I quick read and find out the end.

I can't read the end. It's all I would think about throughout the entire book. I will admit that when browsing at the bookstore, if there is a book that I know I will not purchase or borrow at the library, I may skim through and read the end.

I've peeked a few times but not with every book.
I've been known to stand over the stove and cook to.I get so involved in the book,I can't put it down!
