What about those contemporary novels most people abandon (The Casual Vacancy; Wicked; Eat, Pray, Love; Fifty Shades of Grey; The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). Anyone read them? Personally, when these books came out, I didn't have the slightest interest in them. I read what they're about and they aren't the type of books I like reading so I didn't bother trying to read them. I adore the Harry Potter books, but I'm not the kind who would read everything written by a favourite author and in the case of Rowling, I refuse to read her other novels (excluding the three Harry Potter companion books), The Casual Vacancy and The Cuckoo's Calling.
