    I have a few new DVD boxsets and am edging my way through the episodes

    However, i am kind of tempted to spoil the endings by checking wiki.

    Amd just wondering, if life was a book and you could read what happens next and how things will pan out, would you read on?

    I'd skip the first half, because I already know what happened there.

    Before I answer I need to know if there will be film released at a later date based on the book, if so I would wait for that...

    i think if my life were a book, thered be a 'ten years later...' moment in it, im just waiting for that to end, see what new and exciting adventures come my way.

    tough one, I would like to know what the future holds but at the same time would you become bored with life if you knew what was going to happen next.

    It all depends if it is possible to change your future by reading ahead

    Since im comparing it to DVDs where the endings are predefined, in this case the answer is no.

    I guess i wouldnt but like the DVDs id be tempted as hell

    But i generally like whats wrong for me... :D

    Of course I'd skip through...I'd want to see where the author was taking this.

    If it was poor, then I would demand a rewrite. And insist on proof reading.

    Why on earth would you read the wiki and ruin the endings for yourself? Are you mental?

    I'd give it a flick through, to see what I need to do to avoid any serious problems. I don't care about spoiling surprises.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    I dunno ....who's writing this book ,autobiographical or ghostwritten ?

    Ok .... as long as the juicy bits are left in


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭Kasabian


    I would read on, I am anxious to know if I go out in a blaze of glory as planned or like an atheist hedging their bets.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old


    i would have to have a schnaaaaaaaaaakey peek. i would regret snoopin though..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,814 ✭✭✭TPD


    I'd read a few pages at random from anything relating to the future. Should get the jist of things without spoiling the fun.
