A long time ago, my sister bought me the second book of a trilogy for 
my birthday, not realizing that it was the second (or even that it was 
part of a series).

I read it despite the fact that I hadn't read the first book, or any 
book by the author, because we were away for the weekend and I had 
nothing else to read.

I'm certainly glad she managed to introduce me to John Varley.

By the way, I highly recommend John Varley ;-)
