Books That Are Fun to Hate!

I've bonded with people over our shared hatred of some of these titles ("I . . . CAST . . . YOU . . . OUT!" howled a college friend as he hurled "Anna Karenina" into the churning surf). Conversely, some are favorites loathed by people whom I like to make squirm ("wanna come to Book Club with me? We're discussing 'Ulysses!'" "No! NOOOOO!").
