Okay, so this subject just came up in our Klub of
A Clash of Kings. I just had to go and google the event called the "Red Wedding" in the
A Song of Ice and Fire series because I've seen it mentioned a few times as a horrifying event and I just couldn't take it anymore. (It happens in the following book,
A Storm of Swords.) The truth is: I actually hate suspense. I suppose maybe I get involved in the narrative too much (assuming it's a good book, well written, has good characters.) But when I'm anxious about the fate of these people I've grown to like/love - I can't enjoy the process of getting to the end if I don't know
how it ends. I start skimming and flipping pages because I just need to know that make it out alright. Or not. Whatever it is, the suspense is killing me! So many times I've literally opened the last few pages of a thriller to see who's still alive first - and then gone on reading the beginning. I can't help it. (The only exception to this rule I think is Agatha Christie. I don't want her books spoiled, but then I always assume Poirot and Marple will survive.) So does anyone else just love spoilers? Or am I a freak?
