>reading introductions
Are these every anything but semi-biographical author dickriding, plot spoilers, and some obvious points about the time that the novel was written and how valued and culture differ today?

>NOOO YOU CAN'T WRITE AN INTRODUCTION

>> No.13787804

I've checked out a books just to read the introduction because they was written by a historian I liked, and one was a phenomenal essay that was insanely helpful. Hobsbawm was truely a legend.

I personally like introductions in non-fiction books. Don't care about them but I will read them if there is one.

If it's a classic I haven't read yet I read the introduction after. Though I share your pain

FYI, the guy constantly starting threads about Ted Kaczynski on /lit/ is an Irish namefag from ylilauta /int/.

I’ve learned this now, but when I first got into reading the classics I didn’t know this, so for example I read the intro to crime and Punishment and although there’s not much to spoil if you know the premise I was still pissed that they talked about the end of the book in the introduction

what do you pick out random books by cover art in barnes and nobles?

>> No.13788248

Unless the intro is by a author I like I tend to skip it and go back once I’ve read the book.
