Great thread. I will think on this. This is a pointless contribution until I do so, I guess.

Hurrah for Edgar Allan Poe.
-------------
Reading back from the beginning I see that someone else also gave the same response for "one book you wish had never been written." Oh, and like SuchFriends' reply to the same question.
Although, yeah...
wishing about books that were never written is a bit odd.

4. 100 days of Sodom. It's hilariously bad.
5. The complete Sarah Kane. Sick.
6. Anything by Joyce.
7. Whichever one started the beats, unless it was Miller or Burroughs.
8. Derrida's gift of death.
9. Pound's cantos.

God, I'm an unsufferable prick, aren't I?

What? You've never finished Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit? What are you, a moron?

Kidding, of course. Assuming that you aren't lying, this is one impressive list.
