I'll put in two books that come to mind...
Rendezvous with Rama by Arther C. Clark
I have no idea who this came to be called a classic work of SF. It's premise is nothing special and the execution is very dry and dull. If it wasn't for the fact that it wasn't too long, I'd never have bothered to finish it. Weak ending too.
A Passage to India by E. M. Forester
Just dreadful from page 1 to the last page. It's called a classic, but it's too awful to be such. Classic works are supposed to stand the test of time. This one wasn't even good when it was new. It's just a testament to the fact that scholars are very dry dull people who thing these awful works are actually good.
