Oh, I've read books that spoiled my day... Just because they didn't continue! How often have I wondered why there wasn't a sequel, because I couldn't say goodbye to the characters... That's probably why I mostly read at night, not a lot of day left to spoil (only a few sleepless nights
)
What I don't understand is, how people can buy books just because one person says he/she likes it. When I went to a bookstore, I'd first check out books people said were good, read the cover, read the first page, turn it around in my hand, looked how thick it was, how small the print (generally, thicker = better, smaller print = better). And mostly, put it away and buy a book by some auther I'd never heard off.
But then, that has been ages ago, I've been reading electronic books (on my PDA) for years now.
