Reading a book

Does anybody else read a book starting from the middle chapter and then alternating chapters until you reach the beginning and the ending at the same time?

It makes the book so epic. I can hate and love the characters at the same time!

Sure it means that I spend 2x the amount of time reading a book that is actually terrible. However, I wouldn't know since I spend so much time reading and rereading this one mediocre book I don't have any time to actually compare it other books and find a better writer that can scratch that itch.

Please support me in my love for this book agreeing with me and telling me that I'm not wasting my time.
