just to start a discussion!

I can hear the thunderous silence here!
So, I thought of inviting you to a small non-controversial (hopefully)
discussion. Just to keep the heat down, let's leave the names of authors
out of this.

Here it goes: When we like a certain author, is it because his/her 
writings taught us something new, revealed something we were unaware of,
forced us to change our thinking on an important social issue etc? or
is it because he/she articulated very well what we already believed in,
reinforced the validity of our previously held social judgements etc?

Or all of the above?
