do you read book forwards/afterwards and if so which ones do you enjoy? I like the ones with biographical information but I also enjoy critical reading ones

I enjoyed Pinecone's foreword to Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me.

I love Gass' introduction to The Recognitions.
>>
Dave Eggers's introduction to Infinite Jest is really good.
>>
Konstantin Mochulsky's for The Brothers Karamazov (Bantam, tr. MacAndrew)

>>7664764
Yup, Fake William Gaddis was an inspired choice for that book.
>>
The introduction to the Reader's Edition of Liber Novus was better than the book itself
>>
really liked ann charter's introduction to on the road
>>
Intros to most of Nabokov's work. They're always a fictional entity giving a forward to the narrator or main protagonist as if they were real too.

What's the difference between foreword, preface, introduction, prologue
>>

A prologue is an actual part of the story. The rest are comments on the book either by the author or other people.
