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?

    I think you’d enjoy Crow Caller on YouTube. They read bad books and make obnoxiously long videos about them. Quite possibly my favorite person on the platform.

      Have you ever seen KrimsonRogue’s 7-hour roast Lightlark? It’s the most beautiful thing ever.
