In general, do you prefer the beginnings of stories or the ends? 

Personally, I like both. I know…I know… a cop out. LOL. But seriously, I like skipping the middle when it’s something I’ve read before. I like to see how far apart and different things were from the start and then how it all matches up just right in the end. I love to reread the ends of books from my fave authors, so I suppose my actual answer is–ends!
