... so let's talk about books, shall we? After all, we who still read them belong to a proud minority, right?

Questions below as always.

Do you read a book straight from beginning to end or do you cheat and check out the end first?

I'm a cheat. I could never concentrate on the story itself if I had to worry how it would end.

I always start at the beginning and read to the end.

I admire your discipline. :)

There has only been a couple of times and that was just to make sure an animal was going to be okay., Otherwise, I am happy to take the long road.

As I said before: your discipline is admirable.

Usually, I read a book from start to finish. Sometime if I am not enjoying the book, i will skip to the end to see how it turns out.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, that, too..

For the most part beginning to end. If it starts to seem like there will be feels that may be stressful I'll cheat (although this is mostly in fanfic, TBH).

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I'm with you about the feels; especially in fanfic.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

I usually don't look at the end ... usually ... it can happen but not very often.

Your icon is great!

I would skip ahead and leaf through the book but since mostly switching to ebooks I've gotten better about reading in proper order since skipping ahead and then finding your page again is such a pain with ebooks.

Beginning to end. I have on occasion looked at the end, but it tends not actually help with the things I'm worrying about - these days I'm more likely to look online/ask my husband/someone else I know who likes the books for reassurance.

Beginning to end. I sometimes check what page a book ends on, but I try not to see any of the words on the last page.
