These are the books mentioned in "Wretched Writing" (2013) by Ross and Kathryn Petras. I did not include the stories, articles, poems, and movies quoted.
Nos. 37-52 (as well as #164) are included for their titles alone. 179-184 are there for their blurbs. Some classics are there merely for an unfortunate word (such as "ejaculated") that has changed meaning somewhat over the years.
My favorite entry:
"There are some sounds in nature which are anathema to man. For most people they are confined to the strangled screaming of a vixen in heat, hideous and unearthly in the black voids of a sleepless night. The question you have to ask yourself here is, 'Am I most people?' "—#242
