No, I totally understand your initial revulsion. I am contrary, too.
Although, um, it cracks me up that you say this in the same sentence as about Harry Potter, for two reasons: 1. I love it, but it is the most oversaturated franchise ever. XD And currently WAY better known than Narnia, depressingly enough. x_x Not because Narnia are better - HP is more enjoyable in a number of ways/they're different - just because they're classics in the UK/US canon, and once I was in some class where Narnia was mentioned and a girl, a British girl no less, was like, "...Oh, I've never seen them." MY HEART = A MILLION PIECES ON THE FLOOR. 2. When HP first was big, I was like so too cool for it for a while. XD /contrarychild
Oh, believe me, I'm totally aware of how ridiculous it is to not want to read a book, just because it's popular (just as ridiculous as it is to want to read a book, just because it's popular). I just have trouble letting go of my initial anti-reaction xD
I've only read the second part of Twilight, and I liked it okay, actually.

**Except Twilight, brb, vomiting forever.
