profound effect

A public poll for the Library of Congress to choose 65 books by US authors that had a profound effect on American life has thrown up some surprises.
...
Herbert’s Dune, a 1965 science-fiction novel adapted into a film starring Sting, Pirsing’s cult classic Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and children’s favourite The Cat in the Hat by Dr Seuss – real name Theodore Geisel – all make the cut. So too does the prolific and popular Stephen King with The Stand. - Library of Congress asks for profound books, gets Dune and The Cat in the Hat
