This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it.

been mentioned in the archives before now but I also
feel that one of the (many) things BotNS does is to
teach a very casual modern reader like myself how to
read books of this kind. Needless to say I followed
Severians advice and went straight back to chapter one
to enjoy the book again, this time using my newly
developing powers of attentive reading to get just
that little bit deeper. I was then happy to apply the
same techniques to other books, which would certainly
have been otherwise beyond me. Gene Wolfe taught me
how to read...
