To each its own, I say.

Absolutely. I began and continue as a Fantasy and Science Fiction reader (in addition to many other genres). I think the term Classics can actually transcend genre boundaries though. I believe there are Classic Fantasy, Science Fiction, Mainstream, etc. And would suggest that Lord of the Rings is a Classic from the Fantasy genre. Now it may or may not be over-hyped but if it is not then does not that fly in the face of your initial reaction "All Classics are over-hyped?"
