The other thing to consider is you. There's books I read in my 20s and 30s that I loved; revisiting them 30-40 years later I couldn't see why I loved them. Conversely, there's books I didn't like back then but now I have more life experience I enjoy them.
So consider your changing tastes as well before dismissing authors or their works.
In my case, I will pre-order Kindle editions of Steven Brust, Lindsey Davis, Ben Aaronovitch (PC Grant series only), and will consider Charles Stross (Laundry Files series) if my partner hasn't got in first.
