The librarian who made me read the ending first
She said 'you'll enjoy it more' when I caught her flipping to the last page at the circulation desk, and after 3 months of trying it on every book club pick, I actually do. Has anyone else tried reading endings out of order, or does it just ruin the buildup for you?

Do you read the spoiler paragraph on movie sites before watching too? Because that's basically what this is. I started doing this with mysteries after I got burned by a book that had a twist so dumb I threw it across the room. Now I'll flip to the last chapter, read maybe two paragraphs, then go back to page one. It doesn't kill the suspense for me, it just makes me notice all the clues the author planted along the way. The only time it backfires is with thrillers where the ending is the whole point, those I still read straight through.
