I couldn't finish the thing, the (horribly dated) style and grindingly slow pace just wore me down. I can't see how it could cause a life-redefining moment from what I've read (but I think I did come out as most in accord with Ayn Rand in that philospher test, so maybe I wouldn't).

well, exactly. While Illuminatus/Schroedinger's Cat was a huge mind-opening experience to me, people that already questioned the world around them would have wondered what all the fuss was.

Another book I started but couldn't finish (I have tried twice) - I can't recall why except that I just couldn't get into it.
