I'm going to have to go with Life of Pi, for the crime of abusing the unreliable narrator trope beyond the limits of human endurance.

(By the way, apropos of other books mentioned here, it's always been my position that The Road is nothing more than a post-modern retelling of The Old Man and the Sea.)

As far as "the Classics" go, anyone who claims they actually enjoyed Last of the Mohicans is the ultimate poseur.
