Do you know how many attempts it took me to finally read Catch 22?
I must've read the first chapter a dozen times. I kept putting it down because it just wasn't holding my interest. Then one day it did and I read it straight through.
One of my favorite books till this day.
BTW, I have no compunction about reading the last few pages of a book first. If it seems like a terrible ending I don't bother. Otherwise, by the time I read it I'll likely have forgotten how it ends. I'd never do this with a movie, but it has yet to spoil a book for me.
