Random philosophical question that I’m sure has been answered before but - if you read the entire story of your life, would it be the same story if you read it a second time? You’ll now have foreknowledge of upcoming events and certain actions might change the story that you just read. Would the story change to include you reading the story?
There is an entire philosophy of thinking regarding time travel that talks about this kinda thing. Basically it says that everything that will happen or has happened is set. If you go back in time and do something you already did it and it won't have changed anything because you'd already done it before you decided to time travel. This line of thought can be transferred into this idea in that if you read a book saying everything that will happen in your life anything you do in response will have already happened for the future you that the book speaks of changing nothing.

There's a really interesting comic/manga about this; titled "Orange." 16 year girl gets a letter from her 26 year old self, warning her of future events. At first, she writes it off as a joke, but predictions in the letter start coming true. As she starts following the advice of the letter, after a while the letter's predictions start becoming less and less accurate. It kinda falls back on Back to the Future/Dragonball Z theory where the original future continues to exist, and changes made to the past end up skewing into a parallel/alternate universe.
tl;dr there's a cool asf comic that deals with this called "Orange."
“Chapter 1”
“Chapter 2”
Not all chapters have titles
