just about to start moby dick

is it essential to read the extract/introduction

its quite long and i just need simple yes or no so i can either start from there or go straight into it
>>
Is the intro by the author?

If not, read after.

I'd suggest not.

It has some spoilers, spoilers that become obvious, but still spoilers.

>context is irrelevant
people like you need to die

thanks

i'll read it once ive finished but i just didn't want spoilers
>>
if by the introduction you mean the TEN MILLION REFERENCES TO WHALES IN BOOKS PRIOR TO MOBY-DICK, then yes
if you mean some asshole's long-winded opinion about moby-dick, then no

also i don't really think it's a spoilable book but whatever
>>
>>7328484
There's a difference between context and some scholar's interpretation.
>>
I mean if you're concerned with spoilers, don't read the first sentence
>>
>>7328539
spoiler:
the guy's name is ISHMAEL
>>
>>7328541
you raging autist it isn't his name, that's the whole fucking point of the "call me"
>>
>>7328541
The name's Ishmael...James Ishmael, said Sean Connery.

Prior knowledge of the book--it's allusions, plot, sub-text; coupled with having someone elses interpretation pushed into you--would lessen your enjoyment of the book.

An image: You are about to fuck some prime literary virgin pussy--some guy comes along, fucks her, then describes the experience to you in detail. You then decide to fuck her still, as you are a introduction reading rooster-noise; you can feel the previous man's cum on your dick as you fuck her now loose vagina.

OP. About 90% of the book is skipable. What people don't realize is that Moby dick is just a whaling encyclopedia with a bit if story in-between.
