what books have you read that you have felt compelled to finish although
they disgusted you?

American Psycho is a start

Winnie The Pooh. As a zoologist, I've done a great deal of research on
bears, and believe me, no bear is THAT stupid.

Tropic of Cancer (lots of psychobabble about how vaginas are the ultimate
mystery, yet he treats women like crap and thinks he's got all the answers,
it's bullshit, lemme tell ya.)

and

Last Exit to Brooklyn (The thugs comb their hair in fifties pompadours and
congregate at a soda shop. Maybe this doesn't ruin the effect for you, but
for me it was like, oh yah, I'm SOOOO shocked. Woo hoo, they took some diet
pils and stole a car. Feh.)

I was compelled to finish them for a class. Sometimes it just beats me
where the Pinks get their ideas about Art.

Televisionary Oracle. Judged the book by the cover. I kept expecting it to get
better. I was rooting for it to get better. But it didn't. There were a few
moments of interest, but nothing memorable.
Sad, really.

I refuse to answer on the grounds that any of the authors of these horrifying
pieces of shit might make another dime off unfortunates like me who can't avert
their eyes from a really juicy car-crash in prose.

Fuck those talentless corporate 'droids. Let 'em starve. The most information
I'm willing to offer is that there have been SEVERAL such books.

Wizard and Glass: 4th book in The Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
Knowing everything that was going to happen in the fourth book two
whole books ahead reached all-new heights of redundancy. I was 3000
pages into something that only deserved 50 or so.

It was kind of like watching The Patriot.
