In my own books, acknowledgements are there to honor those who have contributed to my work, and I don't get offended if readers skip it. Those whom it was meant for read it.

I'm the same way. If the book was amazing, I take a look at the acknowledgements, but I usually skip them if it's a book I'll likely forget about soon. I do read the dedications and an Author's Note if there is one, and for fiction, I read Introductions and Afterwords both after I've read the book for myself, since intros tend to give too much away.TrishaAnn92 wrote:Well...sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Usually depends on how I felt about the story over all.
I generally don't read the discussion questions, though, especially if the book really took me someplace I'd like to linger for a while, as discussion questions take me out of that place and make the book "a story" again before I'm ready.
