Not books, but Movies.... After years of doing this.... I realized it changed my movie habits. Many times when a movie pops up (Old or New) that I have not seen, I will pop over to Wikipedia and read the plot summary.

I realized after doing this for awhile, that many times (>80%) that I am no longer interested in seeing the movie. Sometimes cause its: "Nah I don't want to watch that movie." or "Hmm, sounds good, but I don't want to watch it now." More or less I have spoiled the movie, and don't want to sit through it now. I have moved away from checking wiki for movie or book summaries.

The brief blurb on the back of a book, or the teaser trailer of a movie is all I want to see of a summary.
