i've been doing it since i started reading
when i come across a fiction book that has a glossary, i read the glossary first
it's just always made sense to me to do it that way
to help immerse myself in the universe that the characters are living in

The Keyboard Guy
I had to read this for English class this summer. 90 pages with big font and pictures 
But it got me thinking about things more than any book ever has gotten me to in my entire life.
Now to find an actual book

I actually have a copy of "The Little Prince" on my "to be read" shelf. (Or "shelves", rather).
Finally finished the Eragon series (still not my favorite) and just started "Deeply Odd" from Dean Koontz. This is the 6th book in the "Odd Thomas" series...I know Glenn hates 1st person narration, but I really enjoy this character's wry sense of humor and unique outlook on life.

I picked up a stack of Koontz paperbacks a few years ago and hated all of them.
He has good ideas, just can't write.... Not sure how he ever got as popular as he is.

Just started David Baldacci's "Hell's Corner", but REALLY can't wait to get my hands on the mystery novel that J.K. Rowling penned under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith:

Probably for the same reason crap like 50 Shades of Grey becomes popular. Your average "NY Times Bestseller" reader isn't intellectual enough to care about the quality of someone's writing -- or necessarily know the difference -- it's all about how provocative the subject matter is.

Been working my way through Invisible Armies by Max Boot. Also started reading The Dark Tower series again.

Why?
Actually, I was obsessed with the series throughout the 1990s, but hated the turn that the last 3 books took. I felt like King started off by creating this brilliant world (or set of worlds) -- and then painted himself into a corner and couldn't figure out how to get out. I literally threw the 7th book against the wall once I finished it. (Years before Bradley Cooper's "Silver Linings Playbook" character made this fashionable.)

Now that I'm done with A Song of Ice and Fire, I'm reading the Saga graphic novels:
Halfway through the first and I'm in love with it. The humor, writing, and art are great.

My local B&N mistakenly put this on the shelf before it's Tuesday release. No complaints here!
Finally finished The Hobbit while completely destroying my Nook in the process (word of advice, don't put 7 inch tablets in your back pocket unless you have the 2nd year warranty)
Went to B&N today and picked Ender's Game Book 1, The Hunger Games, and Bakuman Volume 1 (from Death Note creators).
