I rarely encounter substantive spoilers in the first 70 pages or so of a book. That said, I'm pretty much immune to spoilers; while I'm reading, I'm usually ignoring anything I might have previously known about a story, so it all works even if I've read it before. > Do you fast forward movies as well? Amusingly, I can't generally watch movies at normal speed. They're too boring. Luckily, computers are finally advancing to a point where "1.2x faster, but no chipmunks" is an available setting in some software. -s -- Copyright 2010, all wrongs reversed.
