Count me in as another person who can't stand to read Tolkien. My eyes just start rolling up in my head whenever I try.
I read the first three books of David Eddings "Dreamers" series and stopped because they were all basically the same book.
JK Rowlings' books will never pass my doorstep.
I just can't get into Terry Prachett's books, even when the theme is one that should interest me.
I tend to avoid any authors whose paperback covers have either a dragon, a unicorn, or a bipedal creature with a cat's head on it.
I really want to read George R. R. Martin, but everytime I pick up one of his books, I put it down after reading about five pages.
I can't bring myself to read Terry Goodkind or Robert Jordan or Jean M. Aurel. I've looked at the covers and read the blurbs many times in the bookstores, but I just can't make myself buy those books.
I've started "Outlander" by Gabaldon several times, but I always get to a certain point and then I realize that I couldn't care less about Claire and stop reading.
