Alot of the "worst" books I ever had to read were books that were "forced" on me. Books that are assigned for reading when you have alot of other stuff to do have a very short "smell" test.

I was forced to read "Tale of Two Cities" and hated it because I had to fit it in with the rest of my work. It wasn't until later that I rediscovered Dickens and read everything he ever wrote.

I remember reading a years ago that "Silas Marner" was voted the most boring book ever written, by college students. I read it on my own after reading this and enjoyed it enormously.
