I always read them as well, but I mostly read pretty lowbrow genre fiction, most of those don't either have any introductions or have only very brief ones.
Nonfiction is rare for me these days. I read more of it when I was younger, but I no longer have the patience. Now I prefer web articles, magazines and such for nonfiction, not books.
As to classics and literary stuff, I did read quite a lot of it in my teens and twenties. Then I lost interest, for good it seems.
