"Is this really a thing?" Is this a possible recurring feature?
→[More:]
I was just thinking people could randomly post idle questions in hopes of actual leads or answers.
Mine is about people who immediately read the end of books right away.
The way it's presented in media is for a variety of hack reasons and I know there are people with a type of anticipatory anxiety "thing" but how could this actually work? I mean, I've read a range of types of books and almost never has the very end resolved anything that the book's about. In fact, besides a short story or poem I can't think of it ever being the case, or being able to make any sense of what it says at the end if you haven't read more than some of the book already, so unless this is a personal tic that has nothing to do with knowing anything, how is this suppose to help or work? Is it just some kind of "fuck you, book"--
--now, I've had small detail and big spoilers thrown at me and the problem with knowing any thing that happens is that if it's in mind I'm waiting for it, which in part can pull you out of it or in a way be put to devilish use but that's a whole separate thing.
I would discount this completely except I think I've heard people say this in real life and not been in a situation to say anything by way of query or opinion. What kind of shitty books are they reading or why are they reading them at all?
