My library sale find of 'The Desert of the Heart' changed how I read older novels

I picked up this 1964 paperback for 50 cents at a library sale in Austin. A friend told me I was judging old books by their covers too fast, and she was right. After reading it, I realized I had been skipping slower burn stories for years. Now I actually read the first 30 pages before deciding if a book is worth my time. Has anyone else had an old book surprise them like that?

Actually that book is called "Desert of the Heart" not "The Desert of the Heart".
