If you were given a book with the story of your life, would you read the end?

Not likely. I already know the tale and it would not make for a terribly interesting read.

Not a chance. I would have the book destroyed. This kind of thing legit weird me out when I read about it in fiction haha

!!!Spoiler Alert!!!

I die.

I don’t think the information could harm me. And since I have a hard time taking seriously theories that claim I have no choice about my future, I think the self-research could be a good thing. I’ve got plenty of things that, now that I’ve lived them, I’d like to redo. So I can imagine that being able to preview a set of choices and outcomes would be useful. I could avoid purchasing that whatever that wound up being a bad investment. I could get screened early enough for the cancer (or whatever) to be caught and treated before it kills me… Or not cross that street at that specific time the car hits me. Whatever. I would know how certain choices pan out, and whether (and how much) I want to adjust my trajectory with regards to those examples. (And to the extent that my loved ones show up in my book, I could cue them in on things that they might want to address, too.)

This is assuming I could know the book was legit! I’d have a lot of questions for the author.

Ha! I posted an answer, and it vanished. Hopefully this doesn’t confirm that there is no way for me to change my destiny, as that would tend to make me not care, not try, play with trying to change it, become disinterested, etc.

Be too busy looking at the pictures

No. I don’t want to know when the end will come. I know myself and having that information will make me anxious.

that’s probably all that I would read.

I would read it, if I don’t like the end there is still time to go to page 50 and not 85 for those of you who remember those choose your adventure books.

I would get a pen and change the ending to “to be continued ”.

It depends on when it was written? I would read it again when I was much older to compare to reality.

No. I would instead report the author to the police for stalking.

There is a movie with a similar theme called Stranger Than Fiction.

Here is the trailer.

I have considered this, and the answer is no.

I would change the text of things that happened in the past, and watch the book evaporate in a puff of temporal paradox.

No. One night I was asked by a woman I had (unintentionally) stood up for a date, “If someone could tell you when and how you are going to die, would you want to know?”
I said no. She replied,“Well never mind then”.
