I have decided that its hard for me to get into certain British style books. I am talking about that sort of whimsical, quirky, Victorian-esque British writing style that seems very common in books.

The only author I can think of where I like that sort of style was Lemony Snickett and JK Rowling, but its been close to 15 years since I read anything by either of them.

I even have a hard time with Hitchikers Guide, and am about to drop it after 100 pages.

Someone recommended me “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” and just based on the title I have absolutely no interest.

Anyone else have this issue or am I just being pretentious? I am a little annoyed since there are so many classics and world famous authors with this kinda writing style, but something about it really disinterests me.
