re: What's a book that you wished you had never picked up (because it sucked so bad)?

Catcher in the Rye. A world famous book ,but you will read it's entirety waiting for something to happen. I think its fame was the fact that it was the first book talking about prostition that escaped the censor police. Its a must read just to be able to say that you read it. It was discovered that most all serial killers have read this book.
