Excellent thread, I'll need to give it some thought, though. There are books I've thrown away, such as anything with "Dune" in the title, not written by Frank Herbert. I liked the Nantucket books by S. M. Stirling, but hate-hate-hated the others, the "Change" books. Not one detail, but all of the characters, the idea that SCA and Wiccans would rule the world and speak Elvish. Just all around stupidity.
But an otherwise good book, until you hit a certain sentence, and have to stop reading in disgust? I know it's happened, but I can't recall any specific instances at the moment.
