There is a science fiction short story I read years back (can't remember the title or author) where a guy has written what is widely accepted as the greatest novel ever written-- there is constant praise from all corners for the book, but he is the one person who can never read the book for the first time-- so he goes somewhere (and this is the SF part) and has the part of his memory covering the time he was writing the novel erased so that he can read his own book. The last line of the story being something like "this better be worth it."
