I agree. It's when a book uses single quotes that does it for me. I much prefer double quotes. The thing is, in the UK, it's odd. Some books use single quotes and others use double quotes. So if you prefer one or the other, you get stuck with both. In the US, it's just double quotes unless it's a UK version with single quotes published that way in the US.
