Reply to comment by Senmaida in When do you consider a book 'read'? by Penrod_Pooch

This is what I think but I don't count endnotes, acknowledgements, etc. Just the main body of text. I also skip introductions for classic novels because I expect them to reveal the plot and I would rather not know in advance

That’s how the plot of Anna Karenina was ruined for me. Now I don’t read them until after I’ve finished the book.

I don't understand why they don't even have a warning.
