"Here I pause. If you wish to walk no farther with me, reader, I cannot blame you. It is no easy road." --Gene Wolfe, Volume One in Book of the New Sun.
By itself it doesn't seem that amazing, but wow, when I got to that part of the book when I was a teenager, I practically ran to the bookstore to find Volume Two. Gene Wolfe is one of my favorite authors. Not exactly "light reading" though...
