I usually read the last page...I am guilty o.0

I just couldn't do that, I'm bad enough keeping on track reading a book all the way through if it only seems alright. I'd never read the book once I knew the ending of it. I'd just move on to another. Most of the time though, I like to re-read things I've read a long time ago, which takes up most of my time when I can't afford a new book.

I usually don't do that. I might open to a random page in the book and read a few sentences to see if the writing style etc interest me but thats it. Half the time when I do start a book and I start getting into it I end up reading ahead x.x I don't mind when I spoil something myself but I hate it when others spoil it for me.

I seem to have the habit of reading the ending after I read the first chapter or so. I have tried to break the habit, but its really hard :-p

I'm BAD for looking ahead. Whenever a book gets too intense I tened to skip ahead a fw pages and rewen it for myelf, then go back and read and find out how it all happend! AH!It's such a bad thing I know :( But that horrible habit always makes me sqweee! :sqwee:

I am not too plot-focused when it comes to reading books and I think really it just depends on that. If the ending is good, it doesn't mean I will like the book - it could be incredibly boring. I know you aren't saying a good ending ensures a good book, but personally it wouldn't even bother me -that- much if I read a whole book through and didn't like the ending, it's what I took away from reading it.
The only time I read the ending before having actually gotten there is if I have a test or something on the book and wouldn't have time to finish it. xD

Edit: top of page!~

I never read the ending first Ive been tempted a few times but I think it ruins it if you haven't read the book before and find out the end before you read the begining.

I did once because I had some kind of OCD tendency to do it.

IMA CHEATAH!
I always look and spoil it when the plot gets exciting!
such a bad habit

No. no no no no. I could never do that. One of my really good friends can not read a book without reading the ending first, and it is the same thing with movies with her. I usually withhold information on a movie, because I know it drives her crazy if she doesn't know before she sees it. I don't understand it at all, since I am the exact opposite.

If someone gives away the ending, I am not the happiest person in the world, that's for sure...

I've done that before but I don't anymore. XP It was really hard to read the Harry Potter series without wanting to look ahead. My mum's cousin wanted me to tell her what happened in the last book of a series she was reading. It was hard for me to tell her because I felt like I was ruining the whole thing.

sometimes, but i dont usually read it... i'd go for the summary first.. or the first 2 chapters...

I read the last page than start reading the book.

I never read the last pages first. Normally I read the first alf of the book and if it's, good carry on. If it's boring, I read the last page and if the ending is good I read the rest. Of course, it is rare that I find a book I can't get into. Strangely enough, the Harry Potter stuff is actually the worst series I have ever tried to read, no offence meant to JKR lovers. :)

I try my hardest to not read the last few pages before I actually make it to the end, haha. The only thing I look at is the last page number to see how many pages are in the book (so when I reach the middle I know it). It would just ruin the ending and I just hate it when I know exactly how a story is going to end up.

I flip to the very last page, read the last sentence, then start the book :)

hahah yeah sometimes I do that. At the same time you gotta hope that it doesn't ruin it for you too bad

It really depends on the story. I love receiving spoilers, but usually I don't read the ending first, unless its a manga that's way too long. I've done it only with Fruits Baskets, but I love getting spoilers either from friends who have read things before me, or from Wikipedia :heart:

If I start losing interest in a book I read there very last sentence/paragraph to make me want to keep reading it. ^^

Sometimes I just read the very last page, and that's it. However, at that point the ending doesn't make much sense. By the time I do actually get to the end, I forgot what I read on the last page, so I don't really know what the point is actually. I heard that sometimes people like to skip the first few chapters, start reading, then go back. If books are really dry in the beginning, I heard that it helps you want to get through it more. I've never tried it though...

But... But... That spoils it!!! *gonk* How could you?!!?!?! xD I'm kidding, but seriously, I couldn't ruin a book like that! It kills all the suspense! All the drama! I dun wanna know how it ends! If I do I wont read the book. Period. XD
I'll figure it out halfway through by trying to connect the beginning and the ending and I already do that too fast. I want something unexpected and if I read the end then it's not unexpected anymore T_T Nope, could never do that. lol.

I have done it once. But only cause I was dared and it didn't matter cause the last sentence was the exact same as the first sentence! xD Anyone know what book I'm talking about?

I don't like to know the end of books. That's mainly because, even if it's not the ending I wanted or was expecting, the ending is usually right for the book.

The only time I'll read the ending before I actually come to it, is if I start a book and it's so horrible I have to check if it gets better; or the book sounds awful but sort of intriguing at the same time.

Which is the opposite of my movie viewing habits. x3 I always want to know the endings then. Strange, eh?

I normally read the last page of a book before starting it. Its a habit, but I hardly never understand it until I start reading from the top.

I normally read form the being of the book snice I was a kid. I'd only once read the ending before reading the rest of the book.

I like to read the first few pages and then the end, if they both look good, I get it. L.J Smith's books were an exception, she had me at page one, her writing is amazing. As is Melissa Marr's books.
