A book backwards

Just today, a polish guy suggested to me that I read some book (it doesn´t matter which one) backwards. Not word by word just page by page. According to some Ph.D somewhere, it´s an interesting processes and forces the brain to change up its day to day processes. We discussed it for a while, and I´ve decided to give it a try even though I´m worried about ruining a great book. To hedge the risk, I´m going to read the book Clarissa in Pôrtugues; If reading the ending first wrecks the whole deal, I will have at least picked up some vocabulary.

And if the book is ruined, it´s okay. This city is drowning in bookstores. Most everybody has read whatever it may be that I´m reading, and they ask for bookreportesque information and opinions. That´s good stuff.

My year´s biggest activities don´t begin for a while so I´m going to head out this weekend and go hike around a big lake located more or less in the center of Uruguay. I´m planning on going for a swim...and now that I think about it...a good buddy of mine taught me to swim freestyle backwards. At first I thought it ridiculous but it became a very nice way to cool down after hard workouts and a technique and body position exercise. Now I wonder if there are any other things that could be enjoyed backwards?
