First sentence: It all began for me with a used book I had picked up somewhere, as a 12-year-old: a copy of the 1965 Lancer Books edition of selected H.P. Lovecraft tales, The Colour Out of Space, a paperback edition whose cheaply-bound, sun-burned pages were already brownish, brittle, and crumbling apart, like poor Nahum Gardner and his wife at the end of the title story.
