Any book(s) you just don't think ought to be in the Bible for some reason? Hypothetically, if it were up to you?
For me it would be Ezra-Nehemiah. I think the narratives are important, but the spiritual lessons are HORRIBLE...
(And before you bother to answer "None, they're all inspired, etc." Stop and think... Why did your Bible omit some books? All protestant Bibles omit some books; every Bible ultimately has only some books included while other ancient texts that could have been included weren't. Someone made that choice; have you ever stopped to think why and how those choices were made in the first place?)
Remember, I'm just talking hypothetically! What book(s) do you PERSONALLY have a hard time with?

someone said "martin Luther already did that". As far as I know he didn't have any removed. He did wish the book of James was not in the bible and that is one I would (hypothetically) remove because it seems to contradict Paul regarding faith and works.

Martin Luther already did that for the Protestants.

I would rather add some back in, but I consider the Bible to be just a book (anthology, really) and not an inerrant source of wisdom.

Song of Solomon. Someone said they'd take out Isaiah, but that has extremely important prophecy in it. Job has a good lesson to it.

I would remove all the false words that man has written in the Bible. The Bible has been changed/edited so many times that most of it isn't even God's word anymore, it's mans
