I seem to remember willingly failing a whole section of grade-school reading class due to being forced into reading "The Long Winter," by Laura Ingalls Wilder. As a straight-A student, this was the closest I'd ever gotten to complete sedition, haha.
And aside from some Tolkien (and the CS Lewis stuff I dug as a youngster), I can't stand fantasy novels. Once people start dropping in fairies or elves, or going on quests to retrieve a mystical crystal sword, I just tune out completely. How people manage to read an entire series of this sort of thing is beyond me!
