Looking for Your Next HATE-READ?

I am usually pretty good at avoiding books that I'm prone to dislike. Most of the books on this list were book club picks or books that I decided to read based on seeing them so frequently on this very website. The first 5 books in this list garnered my 1 star rating. The remainder managed 2 stars. My personal rating scale: 1 star = hated it; no redeeming qualities; 2 stars = didn't like it but can see how others may. Which ones do you despise?
