Book Ends

Which reminds me that someone, maybe Dina Knox or Barbara Miller or one of those people, talked about her penchant for reading the end of the book first and then starting back at the beginning already knowing what would happen. That idea seemed wrong to me at the time. I mean, if you already know the end of the story you might not be properly surprised at plot turns and twists. On the other hand, some books are not worth reading all the way through if I don't have to. It takes too much time to read some books and I don't really need all of that stuff installed in my head anyway. A simple plot synopsis online is all I may need to know about that. Some things are just obviously true without further ado about nothing.
