not really..... the book wouold still say what happened even if you read it.... it would have to change every time you did somethingn different and then you've done the different thing....

its confusing but makes sense to me

I think i would be too tempted to read it. i would end up reading something i didnt want to know and ruin it. I would want to get rid of it before i got tempted.

if you did read it you would be like: "and this where i get hit by a ball in the head" and then bang the ball hits you

i would read my exams so then i would get 100% in everything

but you wouldn't read your exams. you'd read the answer you wrote for it. see its fso stupid. if it was me i'd burn the book. even the thought that my whole life could be planned for me makes my blood boil. It's my life not someone elses so they have no right to write down my life

I wouldn't read my own since all it would tell me is that: I read my life book and all my reactions are written within and frankly I'd end up with a major migraine. LOL.  But I like CL's idea: To read someones else's. Well it depends on if I know them or not.
The whole subject of the matter is rather confusing.

Like I said its b___ dy confusing!  LOL. But intriguing at the same time.
 One quote that really stuck to me from the books (its either in Evil Star or Necropolis) is the quote: 'We make our own choices, but our decisions are already know'. It helped me in a RS  smiley

maybe...but the whole concept does away with provacy. its not something i would want to do. i can be irratatingly curios and and annoyingly presistent but if someone tells me to back off i do. to read a book that tells me every single thing they have done are doing or will do is such a deep violition it borders on rape

i agree with this totally, it is such an aweful thing to pry into other's lives...andit does not really matter whether you know them or not.
the whole concept is a paradox. if you could read your life story (what's to come anyway), then you should see your mistakes etc. and then there's nothing stopping you from changing your decisions. which would affect what happens, essentially changing the plot of the "book"....

if i did have it though, i would definately read it, i hate being taken by surprise, so i would like to know what will happen in my life, so to sort-of prepare mentally....
