Never heard of her before Rush. You are not alone!
Most read people in Oz seemed to have heard of her and her books. I certainly had by my late teens during high school. Her books fall into that category of meant to read them but never quite got there for me. I understand her basic philosophical viewpoint just by listening to others conversations. I like to read different religious and political veiwpoints just to feel I have a better understanding of things. Just like my wife said "you dont have the right to refer to Independence day as the worst movie ever made when you have only watched the last 10 minutes". I forced myself to watch the entire 145 minutes before declaring that yes it indeed was the worst movie I have ever seen.
