Do You Read Cover to Cover?

Do you read the preface of the book you are reading? I always do. Sometimes it is just a dedication to an author's loved ones, or helpful friends. Sometimes it is a bit more intriguing. The most unusual dedication I have come across yet is in the historical novel I just picked up by Jane Borodale, "The Book of Fires," which reads, “with thoughts spared for all those condemned to death by hanging at Tyburn.”

Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?

    Yes, I read cover to cover, and I also don't like to skim.
