What's the worst book on your bookshelves?

Contributors to our regular Tips, Links and Suggestions threads usually enjoy a debate about good reads. This week, however, thoughts turned to terrible ones. We've all struggled with poorly written books; ironically, they're often the ones we can't get rid of, gathering dust on our shelves.

MsCarey kick-started the debate with these thoughts:

What's the worst book on your bookshelves? I was just browsing my shelves and came upon Postern of Fate by Agatha Christie. It's an absolute stinker. Unreadably bad.

Surprising words, perhaps, from a self-confessed "big Christie fan". Sadly, for MsCarey, "the book's turgidity, ludicrous pomposity and a literally nonsensical plot which clearly hadn't been edited properly by author or editor" are the book's only legacy.

A Bookless Library Opens in San Antonio

Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff isn’t the man you’d imagine as the visionary for the nation’s first all-digital public library.

The former San Antonio mayor doesn’t own an e-reader (“I refuse to read the e-book!” he says) and for years has collected first editions of modern novels (in print, mind you). Back in the 1990s, Wolff helped spearhead San Antonio’s 240,000 square-foot, six-story, $50 million central public library, a building the city is now struggling to figure out what to do with. Today, Wolff says he would’ve avoided building such a large facility.

Fifty Shades of Grey now officially rubbish

Fifty Shades of Grey. Just when we thought no more bad stuff could come out of this book: first the monstrous book sales, then the media frenzy, then the film announcement followed by all the tiny updates about who would direct and star in the film (readers, I covered this too), then the recent news that hotels up and down the country were lumbered with discarded copies of the books.

After all that, it is now charity shops, those high street paragons of virtue and volunteerism, who must bear the brunt of the Fifty Shades legacy.
