You missed only what you'd have missed if you'd had a vanilla cone instead of a chocolate chip mint one, when you really would've rather have had the mint.
Different things speak to different people. Some folks find opera distasteful; others loathe country music. (I happen to dislike both, but I certainly can see what might appeal to others about them.)
As for whether it's pretentious (which you said you did "NOT" say), I can only say that a bunch of pretentous books by the same pretentious author--in fact a whole bunch of authors with bunches of books--from a particular era have been translated into every language and had enough impact on civilization to be called an important movement.
So I guess somebody must have understood something these books tried to impart.
Or are they all pretending?
