I started out with Buffy (which also has a gazillion layers, and was constructed that way), so it's difficult to deal with more basic things. Not that I can't like them, but not in a proper, obsessive way.
Totally getting you… Then again, obsession shows are so special, it's only natural that there'd be few of them, in a way.

Never read the books on account of reading an interview with the author and getting very cross. (By all means dislike Christianity. But at least have the intelligence to dislike the actual faith/church, not the thing you made up in your head.)
I see what you mean… The books were fantastic, but the religious subtext was… big, and rather questionable.

Am a fairly eclectic reader though.
Same here—that's the kind of question I hate to answer… XD I haven't read Kim…
