The Book of Mormon. I can't believe people actually believe in that trash!

No Dianetics for the Scientologists is much worse.

Generally, I can tell if a book is going to be awful and am thus able to avoid it, but apart from Twilight, if we're not allowed to say that (although it is hands-down the worst thing I've ever read) I would have to say Eragon. Just absolutely awful from start to finish. Bad, bad, bad writing, a cliche-riddled, vastly derivative plot, an appalling punchable self-insert protagonist... just mind-numbingly horrible. I was badgered into reading it by someone else and I wish I'd never listened to them. On a par with Eragon for appallingness was one of the 'Shopaholic' books by Sophie Kinsella. It came free with a magazine, and is not at all the sort of thing I'd normally read, but due to a complicated chain of events, I was in a situation where I had a lot of hanging around to do and literally nothing else to read. So I read it. It was jaw-droppingly crappy. Horrible, shallow, sexist, stereotyped cliche nonsense. Usually, if I don't like a book enough to keep it, I'll give it away to someone else or give it to a charity shop, but I hated that one so much I actually put it into the bin on my way out of the building I was in.

If you are talking about fiction, then I would have to say the only book I regret reading is The Tommyknockers by Stephen King. The worst non-fiction had to be Al Gore's The Earth in Balance...a truly dreadful book.

Widow For One Year by John Irving. It was so bad I couldn't get more than two chapters read! Even though I have liked some of his other books.

There were many worst books, but not very important. But the worst important book for me was politics by Aristotle.

Most Clive Clusser's books.
Clive use the same formula over and over so much, it gets predictable. Still, it can be fun, cheesy and the worst book at the same time.

it's more of a short story, but a "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor is just awful.
And to think I went on to read a few more of her short stories, and they are all so depressing!

A Walk to Remember
It's just a personal distate for the story.
