I think I would end up with far more DNF than not.

I think it depends. Some books I will read a synopsis if I have trouble with understanding it, but other books, like more fiction stuff like DUNE or Ender's game type of vibes I like the story to, like you said; unfold in front of me.

Per rule 3.14 No DAE, TIL, or Unpopular Opinion type threads. The answer to any question beginning with the words 'does anybody else...' is literally always yes, and the answer to any question beginning with 'am I the only one...' is literally always no. You are far from the only reader to have come up with this idea/habit/thought and we are not here to provide you with praise or validation. These threads should be rephrased to provide significant content for discussion and less clickbait titles, or posted in their respective dedicated subreddits. You may also find what you are looking for in our FAQ.

Oh, is some distant land still printing summaries on the back? Can I perhaps move there?

And nah, I'm fairly picky about what I'm interested in. I'll take recs and I've been trying to branch out, but it's very hit or miss and you can imagine how helpful it is to me to know Random Celebrity #3173's secretary glanced at the first draft and thought it was pretty alright.

I like genres and try to grab books from those sections of the bookstore. Covers usually get me tho. I found myself running to the science fiction section after seeing the cover for book three of Janitors of the Post Apocalypse but knowing nothing else about it.
