looking means obligation
If I am reading a book before I go to bed, I have to complete the chapter I am on before turning out the lights. Once I finish the chapter, I have to stick the bookmark in the book without looking. If I see the first words of the next chapter, I have to read that one too before turning out the lights.

haha ME TOO…i never noticed i did that tho (or that it was slightly neurotic) until u posted this!
Same here. Sometimes, if I really want to keep reading but I know I should be going to bed, I “accidentally notice” a few words in the next chapter, so I have to read on.
I do this to the point of falling asleep while in the midst of a chapter. When I snap back awake, I have to backup a page or two, just to insure I didn’t miss anything. I still have to go to the end of the chapter no matter how many times I drift off.
