I have just been informed that something I regarded as fairly common is actually an odd quirk. What could this possibly be, you ask? I don't like fiction books written in the first person. I will overlook this rule if the novel is by a favorite author or it is a really good story line.My other quirk, which I am sure is more unusual, is that if a book is really good I will flip to the end and sample a bit of it. I just can't stand not knowing. I only do this with novels that I am really enjoying. Then I can go back to where I left off and enjoy a leisurely reading pace.
I am sure everyone has their own little reading quirks. Fess up, what are yours?

I love to smell a brand new book! (But never an older one that's been in the library for 100 years!)
ReplyDeletePresent tense ... ugh!
ReplyDeleteI don't like to look at the author photo. For some reason, I don't want to imagine the author actually writing the words. It kills the story for me.
ReplyDeleteTypos. They drive me bonkers.
