I'll randomly looking to a section later in the book just to see who's
talking. I don't read any of it, just skim briefly. I guess I should 
make a promise to myself not to peek ahead on the last three books. 
That way I can be properly surprised/astounded/devastated/ecstatic."

--I have a friend who says that one should always read the ending 
first in cast of an untimely death before finishing. While I'm not 
sure that arguement stands I admit that I have done this before. 

I hope that I can resist with HP though. Of course the ending might 
not even make sense without reading the rest of the book first. 
However if she includes an epilogue and I *happen* to see it first, 
and it *happens* to say "...and then Harry and Ginny got married and 
lived happily ever after, whilst next door lived Hermione and Ron. 
Together each had many red haired children..." etc. then I'll throw 
my book down in disgust. :-)

Now I'm just kidding! Even though I'd rather see Harry die than be 
slotted for OBHWF at the end (with a nice bow to complete the 
package) I hope I can trust myself enough to save the last pages for 
last.

 I'm just not sure I can.
