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 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)

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.
