who the?! hey the?!
So I'm reading this novel by Mrs Gaskell and it's nearly 700 pages long and I'm totally into it and I'm all "What's going to happy with Molly and Roger?!" even though I know, really, what's going to happen with Molly and Roger, but I want to see it, you know, I mean because now I've been living with these people for nearly 700 pages, so I stay up til about 2 in the morning reading and reading and then I only have a few pages left and I turn the page and the last chapter is called "Note from the Cornhill Editors" and it turns out she never finished the book! She died. What the fuck!? Shouldn't there have been a warning label?

NOooooo!!!!! But it almost makes the novel seem somehow more of a reality. Maybe?
Anyway I guess you're not one of those people who sneaks a peak at the ending or last page...I am often guilty of this. I also tend to read magazines backwards, including literary journals. I mean, I don't read the pieces themselves back to front, just the order of the poems/articles/ads are backwards. I'm not sure why. I don't do this with books, well, except sometimes biographies.
