This thread begs the question: How do you actually stick to reading an entire book that could be named the worst book ever? :S

Matt Cardle: My Story
Haven't read it, but it can't be good. It was released almost as soon as the X Factor single was, and he can't have had a very interesting life story.

Absalom, Absalom, by William Faulkner. Seriously the worst book I've ever read. The man spent three pages describing the house in which the story is told from one character to another. And that was the high point.
Also in the running is Dust of Eden. I finished that one entirely out of spite, and for no other reason. The plot relies on the main character deciding to mix in the ashes of her dead father into her red paint, and that gives the paint magical powers that- ...I can't go on.

To Kill a Mockingbird. The only part I enjoyed reading was the court case. The rest was just a stupid story about the the 1930s told through the point of view of a 10-year-old girl.
Remembering Babylon by David malouff- It is by far the most boring piece of crap i have ever read: The whole things all over the place, as if the author just wrote about anything he saw out of his window while creating it with nothing but gibberish and skipping with no explanation to hold it all together. I had to read the damned thing for school...i want all that time back to spend on something else please.
Twilight- Don't even have to explain this one as everyone else already has... It just sucks, plain and simple.

gosh i thought i saw justin bieber there smiling at me...THERE HE IS, GOD NEWWW!
worst book would be the tale of the body thief from anne rice...i was practically suffocating but i have a bad habit of finishing anything i start to read...whhyy?
never read twilight but saw some pretty decent parodies...i may get around it, so i can laugh some more ;P
btw, i heard there was a version of pride and prejudice with zombies? i gotta have it!

If a play counts, I would have to vote for J.M. Synge's 'Playboy of the Western World'. I'm not exaggerating when I say that every character in that play was a jackass.
Interesteing "characters" (see what i did there?), but the plot was very contrived and you never find out who webster is.ninjastovall0 said:

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents ? except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness. Paul Clifford by Edward Bulwer-Lytton.
You can't go past the classics, although the Harry Potter books are an interesting mix of purple prose, repetitiveness and stilted structure. Like Dan Brown for kids. I can't believe no-one has mentioned the Left Behind books yet either.

To break away from the first few book names I saw mentioned...
I would say I disliked The Fountainhead the most. Yeah, the one by Ayn Rand...never heard of her until I read this book and even then it was a required read for senior year language arts. I think it was her somewhat bland style combined with my teacher's unhealthy obsession with the author that made me really loathe discussion of the book, let alone reading it.
