I am the kind of person who often reads the last page first. (Some of my colleagues have threatened to disown me for this -- but I like seeing how the story is constructed! Is this so unreasonable?

In fact, I read 10 when I was editing a piece that quoted that line, so I read the whole novel on the alert for references to boats and currents.
