What book is so awful that it deserves a space on your shelf just for being so awful? (alien.top)

For me, it's Jude the Obscure. That book is easily the worst book I have ever read, without a single redeeming quality, other than that it finally ends. I only finished it because Far from the Madding Crowd was so damn good.

But really, Jude is the gold standard of awful books, in my opinion.

What's your so-awful-it-deserves-shelf-space book, if you have one?

Or am I just weird?

There's a guy on Instagram that my friend and I randomly found and started following. He wrote a book. We bought it.

It's so bad. It's just so bad. It's not going anywhere. I'll cherish it forever.

Children Of The Matrix by David Icke and Bear by Marian Engel. Absolutely unhinged shit.
