Do you have a list of some really stupid books?

Question

I want to start reviewing books, kind of like an opinionated and detailed review of books.  I have a nice list of great books, but I need a list of some really, REALLY bad books (whether in plot, or in writing style).  I have a few on my list already, but I need more.  If you have a list of fiction books that you thought were really crappy, please give me the title and author so I can look them up, maybe read them and review them.  Also, if you can tell me what was so crappy about them, that would be great.

Note: Please don't say books like Harry Potter or Twilight...I just don't wanna open that can of worms with all the lovers/haters of those series (For the record, Harry Potter rocks, and Twilight sucks).  I just don't want to review those book series...at least, not at this time.  

So, give me your best list of crappy novels!  

Thanks a lot!

Try Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel. It's a memoir, but it has no shortage of suck. You should review it if you can read through Ms. Wurtzel's constant whining and self pity.

the "What If" series. It's all about making decisions about this girl and it's stupid and pointless. Also, the "Captain Underpants" books. I didn't even read them, my brother did, but they're horrible!!!
