Dianetics
- Could find no (not surprising) awards for the book. I've actually read it and found it amusing in many places. There is even some decent unoriginal self-help advice in it. That being said, the ideas in it (or maybe just the way they were packaged) have helped (and hurt) many people and have had an impact on a significant subsect of the population.
You might want to try different examples...
Dismissing something as "populist" is foolish. Without popularity, a thing has no impact.

It's difficult to assess Tolkien's relative merits then 51 years later.

Tolkein is an excellent example why I usually dismiss literary critics/critiques

Tolkien. Please. You're doing your entire argument a disservice there. *NM*

You can't dismiss his impact, even if you do not like his storytelling.
