I really don't understand why authors believe they have something to say about how I read their book.

  They can't force you do anything, but a book or a piece of music etc, is often designed in a particular order so you get a particular effect. You don't look up the end of a whodunnit before reading the beginning because that would make it kind of pointless.

    And yet, some people enjoy doing that. I have no idea why but I think they should be allowed to do it. In any case, Amazon claims this is spoiler-free, which would be easy to implement by feeding only the portion you've read into the LLM context.

      There are many things that people are allowed to do which are not advisable. All a matter of degree I suppose.
