When I read the thread about skipping chapters I started thinking about the 10 Inalienable Rights of the Reader Daniel Pennac formulated in 1992. They´ve probably been posted here befor but I feel every reader should be aware of them.
- The right not to read
- The right to skip
- The right not to finish a book
- The right to re-read
- The right to read anything
- The right to “Bovary-ism”, a textually transmitted disease (the right to mistake a book for real life)
- The right to read anywhere
- The right to dip in
- The right to read out loud
- The right to be silent

The right to an uncracked book spine, a choice of formats, a night light and freedom from spoilers
