Hello Shar. I do read the prologue in a book first before I decide to read it. I think that it gives me a clearer idea on what is talked about in the novel or book so that I know whether it is interesting to me or not. Happy reading, friend.

Yes, as a general rule, I do read the prologue. I find that it can help me understand what I'm about to read. It's not always useful, granted, but it may certainly help to some degree. I enjoy reading the prologue, not always, but a large portion of the time.

I actually love to read them. I get to learn alot about the author and sometimes even how they got their inspirations. I just started this about two years ago, before that I always thought it to be a waste of time. Now I wonder how much I could have known about the authors I love.

I always read the prologues and introductions. Often times there's some really good stuff in there that is so overlooked. I even skim over the acknowledgements. Most of those are pretty boring but occasionally there is something funny or interesting in them.

it depends on what book i am reading. if it is a historical romance book, i read it from cover to cover. but if it's a book which does not tickle much of my fancy, i go immediately to the topic that i am looking for. :-)

I always read the prologue, it is the bait that hooks me to the book.
