>the foreword contains plot spoilers
Why would anyone do this? Why would anyone allow this to be printed? Now I'm starting the whole book pissed off.
The foreword contains plot spoilers

David Jones
>reading for the plot
who does that lol
Ethan Green
then why are you reading fiction, pseud?
Adrian Torres
They only do this for books with stories so famous it's not considered spoilers anymore. It's your own fault for not being aware of our culture.
Jonathan Turner
It's my fault for reading foreign literature then.
Jace Reed
Some have the courtesy of warning you. Never read intros before the actual book, though.
Samuel Hughes
Nathan Fisher
I only know Penguin Classics do this. What other "classics" publishers do this?
Luis Torres
>caring about spoilers
It's not an anime, retard
Noah Collins
have either of you ever actually enjoyed a book?
Bentley Scott
Those type of forwards exist because of US copyright law and because there's nothing else to talk about beside what actually happens in the book. In order to copyright a book that's in the public domain you have to add something to it, like a generic essay in the beginning.
Nathaniel Walker
Intellectually, yes. If you read to enjoy in any other capacity however, I am mildly sorry to tell you that you are in fact a midwit, and you do not belong on Yea Forums.
Samuel Moore
First image is from Penguin (Jane Eyre), second image is from Oxford (War and Peace).
Christian Williams
What a horrific approach to life in general, honestly.
Landon Morris
Midwit.
Jace Price
Spoken like sophomore year undergrad pseud.
William Roberts
Oh I'll let you call me a pseud. once you've read anything that I haven't.
Aaron Rogers
post your writing
Daniel Garcia
My God is Jane Eyre tiresome.
Jaxon Rivera
The Coomer
He is Cooming
Ah
AH.
The Coomer has Coom
Benjamin Rogers
it happened in lolita but it was very well made.
Blake Torres
Pretty much this. We should follow this advice.
Jayden Gray
i tried imagining being you and i felt like killing myself.

A foreword should be a useful refresher of historical context, both for the story and the author, to help one enjoy the book as one reads it. It should not contain plot spoilers, or even a plot summary.
