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 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
