Reading a book from front to back has never interested me. Better to flip through, reading a line here and there, a paragraph on this page, then skipping to the next chapter. Read the last page first; skip to the index and read all the "R" topics. Go back and view the table of contents. Is there a bio of the author? Read that. Read the review blurbs on the back cover or one one the first inside pages. Eventually the book is completed. Now the book has richer meaning than if you had read it the conventional way because you've gained curiosity and insight by mixing it up a bit. I love reading this way, fiction and non-fiction.
What's wrong with the world is that someone is always giving out rules that aren't necessarily valid. Do things the way they work for you.
