You can add and 'empty book', put in the author's name as usual, and title it, "Author I don't care for" or something like that.

Then you can put in the titles of the books you tried in the notes. I tag them as 'Empty.UnlikedAuthor' or some such to be able to pull them all up as a group.

I have Calibre show them in bright red font. That way if I ever do a search on their name I can see that I can give them a pass. And in the notes I can be as detailed as I want.

Or, as stated, you can remove the format for that book, (and I zero out the page count) and create a custom column for to mark those 'Read' or 'DNF' (Did not finish).

I keep the title info, empty format, and 'Read' column for library books I've read and want to keep track of.
