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?

My friend wrote a weird, sexual book about the Moth Man named Moth-Man in my Mouth, but it’s only available as an audiobook. I wish I could put that on my shelf!

There is a great Insta account that reads these kinds of weird smut (so you don't have to) that I would HIGHLEY recommend - she is very funny. Her page is unfortunate.reads
