Have you ever began reading a book and somewhere between the middle and the end you become anxious about the end. So you go to the end and read it then return to the place you left off and continue reading, very satisfied because you know the end regardless of the travesties in the book?
Let me know.

I ALWAYS do that! Every book I've read since I was a teenager, thats what I do. I try not to, but then, I just get so impatient with waiting.

Actually I do recall doing that on the rare occasion . I am not one of these people that if I know the end it ruins it for me . I hate not knowing what is going to happen and hate having to wait to find out lol .

I don't skip to the end. I'll skip paragraphs, because I'm not paitent enough to finish a page if a climactic event is happening, but I try to stay away from the last page until I get to it legitimately. With movies, I'm even more picky about spoilers. I change the channel if I see a review or a trailer.

OOOHHHH NNOOOOO!!!! That just KILLS the whole book. I just make myself wait. Unless the book is really boring and I wanna know if could possibly get any better, I'll flip to the middle or the end.

Yes, but not all that often. Sometimes you just can't take the suspense.. Usually I peek when I'm real worried about the characters, and want to make sure they survive!

Oh gosh, and I thought I was the only one! But usually I'll just do it if I'm totally SURE of what's going to happen.....I just check to see if I'm right or not! If I find my mind wandering while I'm reading, wondering how it's going to end, deciding on what the ending is or SHOULD be, that's when I'll take a peek. Somehow it eases my mind so I can concentrate on reading it better!
