agreed. hotter take: reading summaries of the book, even from the back or the jacket, also detracts from your experience and leaves you waiting for the “next thing” to happen instead of enjoying it as it comes
hot take: reading reviews about a book before you read it completely detracts from your experience, and may even completely change your opinion of the book permanently

Hot take: sometimes the back isn’t even accurate to what the book is truly about

I actually low key agree with this. It also doesn’t hurt that I’ll read the synopsis to decide whether I want to read the book and then almost immediately forget what it’s about. I’ll still be holding it in my hands and have no clue what I just read happens in it
