often, not always, but often i will read the last page of a book to see if i like it. i dont care that it "ruins" it. i look forward to seeing the story unfold in the other pages knowing that i will reach a good ending.
i am in the middle of a story now that has had quite a few unexpected twists. for some reason i cannot skip ahead to the final page to see how it ends. i keep threatening to quit the story because it doesn't make any sense. but every time i give up on the story something hopeful happens. the dang plot of the story is thickening and i am afraid i am getting sucked in. it has the form of a "happily ever after romance" but, like Message in a Bottle & City of Angels (i hate those books/movies), i see drama potential for a whole box of kleenex.
dammit! why cant i read the last page?? even skip ahead a few chapters? i like to do that too. i like to make sure the story is going in a direction i agree with. i did that with Twilight and my roommate scolded me but it did not ruin the story, it make me look forward to the unfolding.

First of all-I always read the last paragraph of a book before I start it. It doesn't give away too much of the plot, but it does give a feel for the book in general. Second-what book are you reading, I'm intrigued! Enrichment book club?
I can't believe you do that. It completely ruins the element of suprise. You should read the Hunger Games.... and not read ahead. It is a great book
