Guilty Pleasures, part 2It's been a while since we last asked this question and CaptainFellatioNelson's confession that he likes "to fart under the duvet, creep in and see how long I can last only on the fart air contained within" reminded us just how good it was last time.

reading the last page of a bookbefore you start reading the book properly.
i've always done it, and it has never ruined my enjoyment of a story, as i've always forgotten what i've read about 10 minutes later.
drives my parents and boyfriend batty if they see me do it though.

First and lastSame here. Before I buy a book I always read the first page and the last page to judge if it's worth reading the stuff in between. Any last page which totally gives it away makes a poor book in my view.
Best book I ever did it with - Clive Barker, Weaveworld. Starts "Nothing ever begins" Finishes "And this story, having no beginning, will have no end". I had to have it! Go have a look!

Aha!So I am not alone in this!
Most people think I'm mad for doing it but it's never 'ruined' a thing for me and gets rid of the what-if anticipation that can make me rush through a book sometimes instead of properly enjoying it.
