I tried to read Howards End about 3 times and couldn't get more than about 10 pages in, so I'd go with that. For something I actually finished, and discounting things I read as a kid that I have no memory of I would go with The Sound and the Fury on account of those first two parts. Good lord. Innovation and experimentation I can handle in cinema, but I'm a much simpler literature fella.

I usually avoid titles with a bad reputation, mainly because I don't have much time to read, so I try to be as selective as possible.
The book I struggled more to finish was definitely The Waves, by Virginia Woolf. It's just too experimental and little or not at all engaging. Loved Mrs. Dalloway and Orlando though, and To the Lighthouse is a book I still hope I can read one day.

Really can't pick one. And usually I luckily forget them quite easily. I've tried a few fantasy books that were pretty bad as this is a genre where really much can go wrong and much really relies on what the reader likes. Also for crime novels there were some really bad. I quite recently tried a book by Cody McFadyen and put it away after like 50 pages cause every minute spent more with it would have been a criminal waste of time.

I'm a Faulkner virgin so I don't know quite what to expect, but most of his stuff looks extremely interesting.

The Shack I also find the writing styles of Cormac McCarthy and H. P. Lovecraft taxing beyond belief.

Drive by whoever wrote it. I don't remember and I refuse to even google it.

Oh honey, Vixen: A Memoir by MsMovieStar. I had to take a Dramamine to get through Chapter 10.

I've read quite a few that I really hated. But it's only a couple of them I quit half way through: East of Eden and Interview With the Vampire. The latter being probably the worst I've ever tried to read. Feel free to attack
