Anyone else read newspapers and magazines backwards?
I don't know why, but I tend to start from the back and work my way forward. Am I that odd?

4. I usually do with Writer's Digest
but that's the only one... they have an author's profile on the last page, so I read that then flip backwards through. If they dropped that feature I'd probably read it forward first.

7. Obits first.
You know you're getting old when you have to check if anybody you know died yesterday.

10. Check to see if your in it too.
Then you'll know if it's worth leaving the house.

11. Not odd to me,
I do it too. Flip from back to front with magazines until I find an article I want to read. Too many ads and other crap at the beginning to bother to go through them.

I tend to read newspapers in order..except for comics..usually look at those first.

12. Learned it from my grandfather.
Seems to be a PA trait.
