Books Ranker Thinks You Will Never Finish Reading (Assuming You Even Start)

Like so many of Ranker's lists this one is flawed and uneven. I agree with some other on here(there's no way I was every gonna finish Naked Lunch without my brain exploding. And it's equally unlike that I am ever going to pick up a copy of Donald Trump's" Art of the Deal"). But by putting any "Harry Potter" or "The Hunger Games" books on here takes away any credibility this list might have started with. Harry Potter is one of the few books I assume everyone has read.
Oh Ranker, the poor dear, she really tries hard though, doesn't she?
