I can't speak for anyone else, but TBotNS is what hooked me on Wolfe.  Had I 
read anything else, I'd probably have enjoyed it but it certainly wouldn't 
have inspired me to go grab everything by him I could get my hands on.  I'd 
almost certainly never have read _Peace_ or _Pandora_.  (Definitely my loss!)  

Then again, I'm a fairly twisted soul.   The tale of a banished torturer in a 
stagnant, decadent, dying future society with a sort of steampunk feel really 
appeals to me.  Perhaps I'm not the best example to use. :-)
