The best example for me would be A Tale of Two Cities. Part Three wasn't that bad, but the first two parts just dragged on and on with random stuff that was completely irrelevant to the plot. Dickens seemed to like spending several pages describing a scene followed by about two sentence of something actually happening. It was one of those books where I would read for half an hour without actually digesting any of it.

Oh and Battlefield Earth pissed me off too. The book should have finished halfway through (though for me it did because that's where I stopped reading). I can actually no longer tell if I can't stand L. Ron Hubbard because I hate his books or I hate the religion he started. It's just like how I can't tell if I don't like Tom Cruise because he's a fucking weirdo or because I find the majority of his films to be subpar.

I can't fucking stand Pride and Prejudice. Most of my friends love it, they'll watch the BBC miniseries and mouth the dialogue, and honest to god, I'm certain they write fan fiction. I just can't stand it. It thinks its so incredibly clever, but in reality its just pretentious drivel.

Okay let's see...
The DaVinci Code, absolutely awful book, I wouldn't read it again if I was paid to. It was trashy, too obvious, and really poorly written.
Possession by A.S. Byatt. Terrible. So damn boring. Just... don't. Seriously.
Anything by Thomas Hardy, his books bore me to tears. I don't think I even got halfway through The Mayor of Casterbridge.
I'm sure there's more, I just can't think of them at the moment.
