I love puzzles, and I used to love reading detective stories, but as I get older, I find less enjoyment in playing "battle-of-wits" with an author who purposely plants misleading and/or subtle clues (which is the whole point of detective stories--I get it). These days, I am more interested in the storytelling itself, and spoilers don't bother me like they used to. I guess my penchant for figuring things out now takes a backseat to watching the story unfold, which is actually sometimes enhanced by knowing how it will end.
