The question of the day is:  What is the worst book that you actually finished?

The Human Stain by Philip Roth

The book won all kinds of awards and Philip Roth is a celebrated author.  But I hated this book and so did everyone in my book club.  It was unanimous, a first.  Even though the plot was intriguing the book was so hard to read.  Ugh.
