Yes, everybody probably have that one special book that means the world to them, but I personaly have a few dozen of those. 😀

I go straight for the acknowledgments! I like to see who they thank –and it’s always a varied list. Some people go on and on, others keep it short.

My favorite one was in a Grisham book where he said he’d played liberally with some points of law, so don’t contact him to tell him this –he already knew!

I feel professional curiosity is very common. I also feel it can taint the eminence we give the things we love. Do you find that you put down your book to speculate on the possible answers to these questions?

“Did this book I am reading go through growing pains? How many people had to read it before someone agreed to publish it?”

I am curious to know how a reading of the Last Days of Summer today, would compare to when you weren’t in the industry. In any case, the curiosity that all professionals get shouldn’t make you a dork. It’s not like your spending your Saturdays playing scrabble and consequently bickering about the rules. Or passing the time on a long car ride by thinking up crossword clues.

I don’t generally look at the copyright stuff. What look for is 1) whether or not this is a second or later volume in a series; and 2) read as a writer, noting how they say things, typos, and various structural issues, good and bad.

I'm like that too!

It's not a stretch for me though. My husband's a recording engineer and we always look at the album credits. Flip right through the lyrics and straight to the credits.

The difference now, for me, is that I have more of a clue what it's all about when i look at book credits.

Glad I'm not the only neurotic one! I too look at the copyright page first, then the dedication, then who designed the dust jacket. haha Sad, but true.

It's great I know where to come for therapy if the need ever arises. *grins*

If you love that novel (and I do too), then you must read Kluger’s other novel, ‘Almost Like Being In Love’, which is even more wonderful and touching.

I usually ignore the copyright, but I read dedications and introductions after I've finished the entire book, never before.

A friend of mine who was a potter would almost invariably turn over a dish he was interested in after finishing whatever was served in it, and look at the bottom. No one could convince him that this was rude; he took a certain professional interest.
