Now Reading: "A Storm of Swords"

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?  Wink

I actually Will do this with nonfiction.  Mainly since I tend to read crime stories in that genre. If some one is missing I get to anxious to see if their found.  I have done that a few times with some other books.  I had to stop myself from doing that with the last harry potter and twilight saga books.
