I feel that way about Ayn Rand. I read The Fountainhead in my late teens. I disagreed with her philosophy, but felt like the book was IMPORTANT.
Then, a few years later I attempted Atlas Shrugged. It didn't go well.
The golden age of science fiction might be thirteen. But I'd say Ayn Rand isn't too far distant from that.
Look Homeward, Angel has been on my to read list for a long time.
