I love how he took the blue pill as if it was the red pill, showing the character didn’t understand the Matrix.

I actually only read prologues and epilogues.
Its called a Speedrun sweetheart look it up

Sometimes a prologue skipper is nothing but a person in the process of changing....

I never read titles. I don't want to be spoiled

[inthenebula]

Personally I like to engage with media with as little context as possible, as such I never read the first book in a series

Meanwhile I'm here having to go back and read interludes because I have the memory of a fruit fly

I have a friend just like this. "If Sanderson wanted me to read Edgedancer he would have put it in the main book".

My husband will read the last chapter first...then the book from start to finish.
I don't understand even after 33 years together...we just don't talk about it

Wait they're going to Canterbury? I thought they were all on a giant tree ship traveling to meet a robot monster with daggers all over its body.

Recently, on r/fantasy, someone asked for the smartest reasons people had DNF'd a book.

Someone posted the following, which made me question their reading compression, and I quote:

'Because it had a prologue. To add salt to the injury, it also had an epilogue.'

Since they thought that was a smart reason to not read a book, they probably would skip the prologue in Canterbury Tales. 😂

So this is who they were talking about in alkatraz vs the evil librarians

[ladyethyme]

I don't understand ppl that skip
You can't argue with the crazy.

My dad usually skips the prologue, but when he was reading TWOK I was like uhhh you might want to give it a try this time.

One time i started to read the prologue of Brave New World. It turns out that it was a commentary of the author explaining some things that he would have changed. I almost spoiled myself the ending, so now I'm terrified the prologues of every book

I would be funny if he always read the bibliography and acknowledgements thoroughly.

I don't read songs in books. Even in Tolkien's books. I don't read poems in novels, either, but songs are just poems that are supposed to have music, but don't, because they're in a book.

Also in Ringworld Throne, I only read one of the two plotlines. It was still a coherent story, and the other plotline was boring. I'll let you guess which was which.

There was a time when I genuinely didn't read prologues because I thought of them as being equivalent to appendix style material, supplemental but not necessary and I wanted to jump as quickly into the action as possible...but I was like 8 when I thought that? I literally just didn't have enough world knowledge to know better.

Story time. My ex girlfriend actually didn’t read prologues. She actually thought they were the same as forewords. I legit told her that and it blew her mind.
