Worst book you've ever read?

Why is it incomprehensible? It's no harder to understand than Dickens or Austen or even Dylan Thomas.

I could never get on with Dickens, 3 pages of describing a room I seem to remember.

I can't say I've ever been a fan. OK, yes, we read Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol at school, but I find his writing a bit chewy and wouldn't pick up and read any of his books for entertainment purposes. Mind you, his style is pretty characteristic of the time.

Boring, boring, boring. How did this win awards is beyond me.

And anything by Shakespeare.
