I find the genres dull and predictable, even when they're unpredictable they're still predictable.

Actually, basically all the fantasies I've read, they pretty much tell you the ending right at the start.  So really, it's no the climax that's interesting, but the "journey".

Anyways, for mysteries, it's usually the thing you least suspect, so if you read enough, I guess they become predictable too...

I really, don't pick genres though.  One of the problems with fantasy is that they take a while to "start", as the author needs time to describe the world to the reader.  I couldn't read LOTR for that reason - it was way too slow for me...
