So I recently shared a controversial opinion at a book club and nearly started a riot: I told them I always read the last page of a book first.
Yes, you read that right. For years, I’ve secretly flipped to the end before starting chapter one. It helps me decide if the journey is worth my time, and honestly, knowing the destination makes me more attentive to the subtle clues and development along the way.
The reactions ranged from pure horror to accusations of “ruining the entire point of reading.” But here’s the thing – some of literature’s greatest works (looking at you, Gabriel García Márquez) literally tell you the ending in the first paragraph. And let’s be honest, we all re-read books knowing exactly how they end.
I know I can’t be the only “ending peeker” in our community. So, do you have any reading habits that would make other bookworms gasp?
