Foreword
I would be more likely to read an afterword. (I think my copy of 1984 had a good one.) Before I've read the book I'm not interested in what some guy has to say about it, because I won't know what he's talking about.
forewords are never written by the author are they

They're generally pointless, often a bit masturbatory. "When he wrote this, it was really good. The world had no idea how good it was at first but here we are, years later. I thought it was good too. Ok go ahead and read now"
I only want the original author's writing. Why is it so hard to get a pure version of an old text these days? Stuff goes into the nteenth edition and gets filled with footnotes and other crapola.
what in the fuck was that kanye

do you actually use this word?
Only on taiwanese water polo chatrooms.

Footnotes are helpful, though.

I want to start reading Tolkien but I don't want to read LotR. Is that a good idea?
You can read The Hobbit and The Silmarillion and a couple other stories like Beren and Lúthien.
That is kind of what I was thinking. I stumbled on Men of the West yt channel and it made all the Legendarium stuff so enticing. I want to sit down and read the LotR but I am a brainlet
Just read it.
hahahahahahahah i wish i was a girl so i could cuck you hard boyo
It's fairly easy, bro. I'm an ESLfag and I'm having a blast reading Tolkien.
Ok user I trust you
>Hitchhiker's Guide
It's a fairly enjoyable piece of light entertainment, I must admit.
