What are some terrible books that have been recommended to you by wonderful people, and wonderful books recommended by terrible people?
For me: one of my best friends (who is an incredible human) gushed over Undermajordomo Minor by, Patrick DeWitt; one of my meanest and most smug professors in undergrad recommended Battleborn by Claire Vaye Watkins.
Wait. You’re saying *Undermajordomo Minor* is terrible? I agree that it’s not in deWitt’s top 3 but that doesn’t make it “terrible”.

My mum kept trying to get me to read Little Women. Sadly, I found it utter bilge. I couldn’t even get through the first chapter. Such simpering saccharine characters. Flung it across the room eventually.
