Guilty Pleasure Wednesday: The Last Page
“I always read the last page of a book first so that if I die before I finish I'll know how it turned out.”
― Nora Ephron
Who is guilty? Me, me, me! Raising both my hands and waving.
I know that it may be wrong (to you, not to me, bleh!) and it gives away the ending, perhaps it doesn't make sense to even read the entire book if the last page has been read. Hello little spoiler sneak! Yes, it is a guilty pleasure of mine, top one out of mmm.. I don't know exactly how much guilty sneaky pleasures I have. We shall see. This will be my first log, for Wednesday's Guilty Pleasure reads.
To others the act of reading the last page of a book can cause disinterest in bothering to read a book at all- just like when that freak of a friend of yours talks about everything that has happened in a movie you have not seen. For me, it is totally different. It makes me even more excited to go through all the pages, the chapters, and to go through the exposition, to the climax- it builds up this itense feeling and it gets me so engaged that I know I am no longer just reading the words, but there is this other process activity happening- critical thinking. It is opening all the senses of your mind, you see you read, and you're no longer only guessing what is going to happen, but you end up trying to analyze how the current situation got to that ending that you sneakily read at the beginning.
