Save the Best For Last????

I love reading. The best part of my weekday, is after recess when we come in and read from a chapter book. My kids think they are so big because it is a chapter book. This is the time of day that they are all listening intently and just giggling in the funny parts of the book. They are learning so many new vocabulary words and phrases in our books.
Unfortunately I don't make time to read for myself everyday. I am excited because I have simple weekend plans, and I have made time to start at least one of the books I purchased earlier this week. However, when I read books, I always read about 25% of the book, and then skip ahead to the last 25% of the book so that I know how the book will end. Then I go back and read the book from the first quarter to the end. I love knowing the end because then you can truly see how the characters play a part in the main storyline. I HIGHLY recommend that you try this method at least once!
I also love knowing how movies will end. I am the nerd who will wait a week or two until after a movie has been released so I can look up movie spoilers and then go and see the movie!
I Love my TiVo, because I can also do this with my favorite TV shows. Last night i didn't get home from work (McDonald's Night) until 8:40ish. It was perfect timing to catch the end of Grey's Anatomy, and then go back to the TiVo and watch it from beginning to end!!!!
Am I the only one who does this?
************************************************* This is my new book that I am super excited about reading! I will let you know how it ends. OOPS! I mean, I will let you know if it is any good!Another book that I just finished is: Shadow Life: Aportrait of Anne Frank and Her Family.
