One Question Reading Poll: Prologues

[rsadelle]

One of the interesting things about my writing group is that I'm learning a lot about how other people read. One member of our group said he's heard that people don't read prologues, generally speaking, and another member said she will sometimes read the prologue when she's well into the book.

I mean come-on it's at the beginning of the book, clearly the author wants us to read it first. I mean what's next reading the end before you get to it?!

Admittedly though, I often skip any authors notes or whatever that are up front, there's too many that have spoilers...

Exactly!

I tend to skip author's notes because I often find them annoying.
