At this point I honestly feel the same about those books as I did later in life when I did that IMDb top 250 in college. I wish I would have read "different" books when growing up. But I guess that's how you go to somewhere — gradually. It's a bit like how I read a lot and if it were not for those not so-literary pulp fiction books and cheap action comics, I would have never picked up reading.
A lot has to do with language in those books. They read as kind of "foundational" and well structured (and I am speaking exclusively about English and Hindi classics, two languages I can read and write in). This gradually takes you on a journey of not only enjoying the language but also learning it. From there, different people branch off in various literary directions, and majority just drops off from the literary journey altogether.
