I just started reading Lord of the Flies, and the guy who wrote the introduction, E.M. Forster, is a complete asshole. Here's a couple excerpts from the introduction:

"It is a pleasure and an honour to write an introduction to this remarkable book, but there is also a difficulty, for the reason that the book contains surprises, and its reader ought to encounter them for himself."

"It is he [referring to Ralph] who finds the conch and arranges that when there is a meeting he who holds the conch shall speak. He is chosen as leader. He is democracy. And as long as the conch remains, there is some semblance of cooperation. But it gets smashed."

"...as long as he [Piggy] survives there is some semblance of intelligence. But he too gets smashed. He hurtles through the air under a rock dislodged by savages. His skull cracks and his brains spill out."

That's where I stopped reading, on account of I wanted to "encounter the surprises for" myself.
