I can't read a book without knowing how many total pages it has. I like to know how many pages I have left while I am reading.
Occasionally, when I check the page number on the last page, I glean telling words in the last few sentences. I don't do this on purpose and it makes me insane. Yet, I can't stop looking at the last page for its number.
Weird.

Hey kiddo, wierd is right, because I do it too. It's ruined a few surprise endings for me over the years. I once kept saying to myself "I know the ending...the author can't pull one over on me." I was just a bit let down when I got to the last page & realized I knew the ending because I HAD READ IT BEFORE!
