I don't have many horrible habits that I am ashamed or embarrassed to admit. However, I have one confession and I feel that it is time for me to come clean. Don't tell anyone but... I am sad to say... Okay here goes *sigh*
I read the back pages of books.
I know I'm a cheater, but sometimes a book is so good that I can't take it. I have to know what is going to happen. I feel as if I just can't get to the end of the book fast enough. So I quickly flip to the end and read the last two pages--if I'm really bad the last chapter--and then return my current page in my book. I realize that this is unsportsmanlike conduct but I just can't help it. I spoil the surprise but it feels soooo good!
Are there anymore book cheaters out there? Does anyone have any reader habits they are ashamed of? Please don't tell me I'm the only one :(
Shhh!!! Remember it is a secret.
I'll sometimes allow myself to read the last sentence, but I'd feel to bad with myself if I read the last chapter. But I almost always read the last sentence, and it's exciting to see how each sentence I read from then on will turn into that last... mysterious... sentence :)
