    Nope. Never. (Although, I did read the afterword for Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance when I confessed to the friend who’d lent it to me that I really only cared about the relationship between the narrator and his son. He suggested I just stop and read the author’s note at the end of the book to satisfy my curiosity about how things turned out.)

    I do. Reading is supposed to be fun, not a competition, not for a test.

    I’m saying no, with certain exceptions:

  30. Barbara H.

    If we’re talking about fiction, in a word: nope! I like the suspense and tension of wondering what’s going to happen, or, even if I’ve guessed, how it is going to work out. I might skip ahead a few pages in a dull part, but not to the end!

    That “reading first to last” idea intrigues me right now because my work is a series of episodes meant to be read first to last,and yet 90% of my readers seem to be coming to the website, picking out a couple of episodes here and there, reading them, and leaving satisfied.

    That really surprised me; but it seems to work for them.

    So maybe reading the last first is okay!

    I skim to the end rather than to Peek at the end. 🙂

  60. WI Snowflake

    I really don’t understand people that read the end first. That’s like watching the end of a movie. If you do this you miss out on the build up of the story. I appreciate and respect the story too much to do this. So absolutely not. Never had. Never will.
