    This thread seems mostly controversial literary opinions rather than genuinely 'worst' books ever. Someone lent me 'fifty shades of grey' which is absolutely the worst thing I've ever 'skim read from page 5 or so to find the rude bits which were really badly written anyway'
    oh and The Da Vinci Code was awful too

    Infinite Jest: Total scam.

    Some parts, taken by themselves, were absolutely brilliant, but as a whole the work was bogged down by too much tiresome, free-written crap that it ruins everything. I really think it could be edited down to 150 pages (with 50 pages of footnotes).
