READING BACKWARDS!


NOW YOU TOO CAN READ A NOVEL BACKWARDS!
Very strange thing happened to me today.
My Mom stops in at the office with a good friend of hers. We get talking about our common love of reading books and she let's this out of the bag.....(quote)
"I read the beginning of a book and then ready the final chapter so I know how it ends...and then I go back & ready the book from where I let off at the start"
Now..In no way am I picking on my Moms pal...she is very nice & I got a kick out of talking with her but have you ever heard of such a thing? Why in the world would you want to know the end of a great novel or even a biography or non fiction book. But let's talk about incredible novels like "Water for Elephants" or my latest top pick "The Law of Dreams"{{{HOW COULD YOU SPOIL IT FOR YOURSELF TO READ THE END BEFORE THE MIDDLE???}}}}.......Anyway...I found that to be the most incredible moment of my day today. There is a first for everything I guess, and I'm sure my Moms friend is not the only reader in the world who finds out what happens before you earn that right to finish off the last 20 or 30 pages of a terrific read. What else went on today? Started back at the Gym. It was a good feeling to sweat a little, instead of watching senseless reality shows on the boob tube. That's all for today Boys & Girls....Crowd around the ol computer screen tomorrow for another exciting blog in the life of the Stumptown Blogger.
