I can see how knowing about the bigger picture first might enhance the understanding and the effect of a story while reading it, but I think the other approach might work better for me, personally. I´m the kind of guy who never reads a summary of a book that´s given on the envelope, because I want to discover the story while reading it, not knowing what is going to happen. I always cringe when I´ve read a book and then read the summary, only to discover how they gave away major plot points of at least two thirds of a book. I really don´t like spoilers, so there you go. But I can see how your approach might work better for others. I will definitely tell you all about my journey and how it went after I´m done, so that others who follow might better choose their own path. Thank you all for kind help.
