Completely Unappealing Books

These are the books that have bored me to tears before I've even read them.
Listen, I like book lists as much as the next person. Something about ticking off an essential classic as read truly brings me joy. I've even been known to read a book just to say I've read it. But the following books fail to inspire me, interest me, or intrigue me in any way.
Have you read any of these books? Am I missing out? Or have I dodged a bullet?
