I love Pillars of the Earth. I've always meant to read it again. It was the best book I ever read about medieval --> renaissance which was a fascinating time period for me, until I ran into the Dorothy Dunnett books (which aren't in ebook yet and are set somewhat later.).

In my life, the only book I remember intentionally throwing away is J.V. Jones - The Baker's Boy. I was disappointed because I'd heard so many good things about it being the beginning of a great fantasy series and I thought it was awful. And I've never been able to read anything by Gene Wolfe. The ones I memorably hated were Shadow of the Torturer and Claw of the Conciliator.
