I am guilty of this

Do you skip to the last page while reading a book??

I never have even seriously considered it. I enjoy the journey too much!

Absolutely never - no way would I ever do that.

I must say in the past I have occasionally skipped to the last page. It depends on how a book is going for me. Oddly enough, if I am really enjoying a book and I want to have a peek at the end I will read the last page.

I don't usually, but there were a few times in which I was temped to do so.

I am the exact same way!

I actually read the very last page first. Just in case something happens to me I already know how the book ends.

Wasn't this from When Harry Met Sally?

I have a few good old books in my library that are missing the last page or a few last pages. I never considered to read those books. They would be like a sausage without mustard.

Never! Why would you want to ruin the entire story for yourself? It's not about the destination of the story, it's the journey you make while reaching the end. Skipping to the last page of a book is like watching the season finale of your favorite tv show halfway through the season. It is simply not done.

Never! It could ruin the ending

No way! I wouldn't spoil a book for myself!

Yikes! I absolutely do not. It would truly ruin the adventure for me if I were to skip to the last page.

nope, if I do so, then the book will be spoiled and I won't want to finish the book.

+1

In fact I usually do not even read reviews other than those by critics who I confidently feel will not give away too much of the story. I am interested in knowing generally what the story is about to have some idea whether or not I will be interested in the general premise of the story but beyond that the less I know the better.
