I decided to do this new thing. Where I will start reading a book without reading the summary on the back or the reviews or ANYTHING. It's so tempting but it gives me a nice clean slate so I don't expect or predict anything prematurely.
Funny how different this approach is from my mom's, who reads the LAST CHAPTER of the books she reads before she is even halfway through. It's like starting elementary school and deciding to go to college real quick to be sure it's worth the effort.
Ok now that I've used that analogy I guess it kind of makes sense but IT'S SUICIDE.

It is true, I usually do that. But I just finished THIS book and did not. It was worth it.
I just read that book too, it's so great! And I used to always read the last page/chapter/half of the book but I have been much more satisfied by not doing that lately.
i won't say a word about this book but let's talk about it when you're done.
it's about time you read this!
My Mom does that 'I read the last chapter first so I know what's going to happen' thing, too. Maybe it's a hereditary disorder?
