Does anyone here have a book habit? When I get a new book I always read the firt few lines then I go straight to the back, read the last page then I actually start reading the book. I dont know how or why I developed this habit but I only know one other person who does that same thing. So whats your habit?

My son was telling me the other day that he does exactly the same as you. I just read them the normal way, front to back

I read while watching TV, in between commercials if I really like the book. I read from front to back though hate to spoil the ending.

When i have to buy a book i pick a random page in it, read it and then i decide if buying or not from the first impression given by this page...

It depends. If it's reading for pleasure and the book is one of those which would grasp your attention from the very first line then skipping to the last page will just spoil your fun. Yet, sometimes I do start with the final passage to make sure if the book is worth reading.

In terms of reading habits, I think I tend to go back and re-read certain extracts to get a feeling of how the language works or to ponder over a certain idea.

I read from front to back and sometimes I don't read the dialogues

Now isn't this strange?

Well I am normally trying to read it from front to back, but at times cant resist to take a glimpse to one of the last pages.

Never????!!!! Tom, that's Sacrilegious!!! And there I thought, I knew you so well...

My book habits - Tom sends me a book for my birthday and I read it. The way one is supposed to read it, from front to back, dialogues and all.
