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?

Absolutely Modelland by Tyra Banks. Even just reading the reviews on Goodreads and Amazon was so entertaining.

Thanks! Now I have plans for evening. Sometimes, when I don’t feel like reading a book, but want to read something, I read one star reviews on Goodreads.
