Classics need to stop having those dumbass 40 page introductions. They completely skew how you interpret the book by introducing themes you should be extracting from the text yourself. Put that shit at the end where it belongs.

Classics are supposed to be read indefinitely… one introduction won’t spoil the interpretation for you, but if you’re going in blind you ought to skip them anyway. They’re at the beginning because they’re often the most substantial part of an edition.
