So...what books DON'T you like? - Edit 1

This is a website where people post reviews of books and exchange ideas with each other about what to read.
But...let's be honest: there is a lot of crap out there. I found myself reading a tortured book on Biblical history that failed to back up any assertions with evidence (or by pointing out a dearth of evidence, as applicable). It was awful. Had I known how truly awful it was, I would never have bought it.
Similarly, I am on a personal crusade to have all books by the Brontes removed from required reading in all schools, everywhere. At a very minimum, Wuthering Heights, perhaps one of the worst "classics" written in the English language.
So please, tell me books that you absolutely HATED, and why you hated them. Just make a list of anything and everything that comes to mind. That is the sum total of my survey.
