I've seen the Godfather, but...

My sister has never seen Titanic.

T-Vo hadn't seen The Blues Brothers until shortly after we got married.

I've only read 30 pages of 1 Harry Potter book and have no plans to read any more.

BWAHAHAHA!

I'm with you on Harry Potter, although I made it through book 1 and 25% of book 2. Then I stopped. And I'll never go back. Unless I have kids. Then maybe.

Jiggity didn't see Spinal Tap until dating me. Seriously. What with that?

Actually, I've never seen that one, either...

The non-Harry-Potter readers are very confusing to me. Do you dislike the whole genre or just this one? What are your feelings on Narnia, Tolkien, Madeleine L'Engle, etc.?

The Harry Potter books are okay, but the hype is too much. They are way, way overlong--does Rowling even have an editor?

I read Narnia, Tolkien and L'Engle as a kid and liked them all very much. (Well, maybe not Tolkien's songs and poems...) I spoke to L'Engle on a call-in radio show when I was about 8, and she couldn't have been nicer.

I don't dislike the _whole_ genre. Just most of it, I think. I loved the Wizard of Oz books as a kid, and a couple of other fantasy books, but I could pretty much leave the rest. Oh! I liked Wicked and the rest of Gregory Maguire's books, does that count? And Pan's Labyrinth, I liked that.

I have also never seen Titanic. I didn't like the first Harry Potter movie, and haven't seen any since. I have read most of the Harry Potter books, but mostly because they were there, and I was bored. Much like the Da Vinci Code, I thought they were decent books, but I've read better.
