Living Again

I was really scared to read a book right after the ex left me. While I was with him I developed a love of books that hadn't really been there before. Mostly I just read what he bought, but when he was away for weeks and I was home alone in Mississippi there wasn't much to do. I ended up at the library quite a bit of the time and to be truthful there were not a great selection of books so I mostly read a little bit of everything. After he came back we read mostly what he bought. Then our last Christmas together my dad bought him an E-Reader. When he left me he left the E-Reader. I had been the one to use it because for Christmas I had gotten him a large series of books he was working on.
I knew it was important to do things for me especially right then. It would be healthy for my daughter if I had something (not drinking) to do while she was at her dad's house for the weekend, which I knew would begin eventually. Every night for so many nights in a row I took my E-Reader to bed, and every night I got on the internet an researched something for her benefit, divorced and toddlers, rules for dating with kids, etc.
Finally, one night I read some of one of my books I had downloaded. I read for an hour or so. Then I started to shake, and then I started to cry. I had no idea what was going on with me. Then I thought about it, I hadn't done very many things I had thought I enjoyed before. I was scared to lose myself after having losing so much, what if I didn't really like to read? What did I like to do, who was I if I didn't like the stuff I thought I did? I'd have to start all over, I'd have to try things I thought I wasn't interested in with an open mind. I'd be completely and utterly lost.
Turns out, I do really like to read. I go through spurts and the subject matters are always pretty random. I do not however really love the ever so popular prime time tv shows that I was dragged away from the computer to watch. This was in his mind "our time" and so I should sit down and watch TV with him rather then do my art, or blog or bake. He also thought I shouldn't be able to notice and read into the foreshadowing of books.
I wonder, do you know of a good fantasy book with a good twist that has NO foreshadowing? I always know the end of books and movies and tv shows before they get there. Why do writers do that?
