Favourite books?

[Kreekakon]

For some reason I don't like a lot of the books that are considered popular today. I could never get into Harry Potter because of Rowling's writing style (I've tried to read each one in the series), there's just something about it that....perks me. Also I found the characters to be extremely generic. Right at the start, I knew who the good guys were, and as expected (from watching the movies), they remained the protagonists right to the end. Certain characters like Snape were much more enjoyable and multi-dimensional, but that was about it.

Oh yeah Snape, I absolutely loved that dude.

A very small gripe I had with Rowling's writing style were some of her small themes/habits she seemed to put in them. For example everytime I saw "A not talking to B for a long time" I got a massive deja vu spike which came from the books, and pointed to the books. I think it's a bit overused in a irritating way.
