When reading a book, do you read it front to back or skip thru pages?

Answer 1

I read from fount to back so i can understand the stroy better.

Answer 2

Definately front to back not skipping any pages. You have to read it this way to understand the story.

Answer 3

Front to back, usually. Unless it's a short story or essay book, then I skip around.

Answer 4

I read the first chapter to see if I want to continue and the last four pages to see how it ends. The joy of reading for me is how the author gets from here to there.

Answer 5

If I've bought a book, or borrowed one, I feel I'd be cheating myself if I skipped pages(unless I had to do a quick book report)

Answer 6

Read first couple of chapters, then skip to end. I often do not even read further, if the ending is too obvious, or to outrageous.

Now, with non-fiction, I read straight through.

Answer 7

I usually will read front to back, but lately I find myself skimming ahead, either out of boredom or time constraints, not sure which (or maybe it's both.)

But if it's something I'm thoroughly enjoying, I won't check out what happens - I'll read every page, in order.

Answer 8

i read from front to back cuz u never kno where the good/important parts are and you could miss somthing that you probably would have wanted to read

Answer 9

Start to finish if it's good. If it fails to capture me in the first few chapters, I just read the ending.

Answer 10

Cover to cover, every line.

Prologues, epilogues, even reviews and the author's biography. I'm a bit of a book nerd.
