My girlfriend loved Harry Potter when we first met but I've since turned her on to much higher quality stuff (fantasy and otherwise) and she seems to be responding well. At least she doesn't have any literary pretensions like some girl who prides herself on having read pushkin probably does.
If you pride yourself on having rad certain authors you're reading them for the wrong reasons. You don't read great literature because it's "Great Literature". You read it because it is good.
I suppose it's to be expected. Even in the intellectual world Sturgeon's Law applies. 90% of everything is crap.
(Btw, if you havn't you should read Theodore Sturgeon's More Than Human)
