Thanks! Then I’ll try to not feel bad that I skipped the introduction!

Yeah! Abit like when I saw the film “Howard’s end”. I just wanted more. So then to go back to read the introduction after finishing the book might give me some good insight or new ways of thinking and reflect about it.

Hehe I appreciate the way you see it! 😂 Thanks! 😊

So I just bought Everymans library edition of Howard's end after watching the movie and feeling "I need more of this" (I know I should have read the book first, but now I did this backwards). But I haven't been able to "make myself" start reading it cause the introduction overwhelms me so. I've started reading it two times now but it's an heavy 25 page long text of what to me just feel like word dumping. I know it's well thought out and packed with good and painting descriptions. But just three pages in I have no idea what I'm reading because the text has lost me, it feels like I am reading an essay I'm to stupid to understand. Am I just dumb for not getting it? English isn't my first language, so maybe I'm just bad at it. So I'm wondering what your thoughts on book introductions are?. Are they a "must read" before the book. Or am I alright for skipping it and go straight for the story.
