Am I the only impatient person who flips to the end and sneaks a peak?

I always tell myself "I won't look at the ending...I won't look at the ending...I won't look at the ending", but inevitably I do. I just can't help myself. I'm as bad as a kid a Christmastime.

Please tell me I'm not alone.

Nope, you're alone. I never look at the ending. As a matter of fact, if I'm trying to see how many pages the book is, I'm very careful to make sure I don't see any of the words because I DON'T want to know. But I'm sure there's some more "peekers" here somewhere.

I usually only do it if the book is boring and I'm hoping it gets better. There have been a couple of instances when I am forced to stop reading and am dying to know a couple of answers....but I've found if I do that, I don't want to finish the whole book later.

I don't with Jodi Piccoult or with Nicholas Sparks because their endings are shockers sometimes. I have with other authors where I'm bored reading the book and just wanted to see how it ends.

I don't ... if I'm bored with the book than I don't read it!

Now if it's a book that I'm really into, my husband will go online and find out how it ends and then torment me until I finish ... he's twisted like that. Did it with several of the Harry Potter books.

I am a big time peeker!!

It has nothing to do with the book being Boring for me! I just HAVE to know.

I am like this with Movies too -

You know how Some people are like, " Don't tell me whats going to happen!!"

I want to know the whole story beginning to end.

I have such a Great need of Needing to know EVERYTHING ... This is why I don't Read or watch movies too much. The info is already there, and I know it - so I need to know.

I watch primetime TV and live events that way I know that NO- one I am with knows anything more.

I do enjoy Self help books too . I think they are all about what you get out of them.

I read the first chapter, then the last, then the middle. Just the way I roll.
