Or when someone asks you about a story in the bible, and you answer "No, I've never read the bible. I don't enjoy fantasy."

I recently answered thusly. It didn't go over so well....

Terry Pratchett's Disc World, very cool. Hard fantasy.

Rowling's Harry Potter? A money making machine.

The Bible... Perhaps another money making machine.

Of course. I've read most, if not all, of Niven's work, even when it was co-authored with Pournelle.
