SorrelZG Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Ok, I'm feeling completely dense. What I thought was what everyone was talking about apparently isn't and I don't see "The Book of Eli" mentioned anywhere in my catalog. Which page is it on? What is the article called?

It's the Letter from the Editor, inside front cover. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankcassiesmom Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Ooohh the Book of Eli was the movie? I'd have been quite unhappy to have read that before seeing the movie!!!!!! I didn't know the ending and loved the twist of it. Ooohhh.... naughty. Bad bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meriwether Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Well, I am usually one who figures out a book or movie pretty early. BUT, in a movie, there is a difference between suspecting and knowing the plot. You would watch Book of Eli differently if you already knew the ending. So, yes, I appreciate if I am warned first about a spoiler. Plus, I believe it is common courtesy. When dh and I watch something, it is like a game for us. A little way into the plot I am usually the first to go "Oooohhh, I see where this is going" and dh will ask me my theory, and then we watch to see if I am right. Sometimes dh has gotten the drop on me, or we have had two different theories and we watch to see who is right! :D We are strange people though, and I accept that. :tongue_smilie: Now, in a book, if I am too perplexed by the plot, I will flip to the end and read it first. I can read in a more detailed and appreciative manner if my suspense is abated. It really depends on the book. :D Weird, I know. But, I still like to be the one to flip to the back and discover the end. So, I still would not want to be told. :tongue_smilie: Dh and I watch cop/crime shows together. Within the first 20 minutes (usually the first time the perp comes on screen) I tell him who did it. It drives him nuts that I'm usually right. He asks how I know. I tell him that if he read half the books I've read he'd know all the plots, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorrelZG Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 But my summer 11 catalog letter to the editor is about a story called The Field of Rice. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorCalMom Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 But my summer 11 catalog letter to the editor is about a story called The Field of Rice. :confused: Hmm...mine says Late Summer 2011. It hasn't been out that long. I can't find the one before that. Maybe there were two summer editions? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oak Knoll Mom Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I just read this and immediately thought of this thread: New study shows that knowing spoilers doesn't ruin a story I'm still not going to read the Memoria Press article.
