Thank you, Peter, for another interesting quiz. This time, we have a book title that is just a single letter, not counting punctuation marks, superscripts, subscripts, or other embellishments. Tally ho, and may your first guess be the winner.

1 out of 26 choices down. 25 more letters to go. This won't be easy.

Here is a pair of hints. The letter is one of the initials of a character in the book. However, in a different context, unrelated to the book, it also stands for a software language.

This book has received some terrible reviews, so don't expect to find it on anyone's top 500 list.

I thought that C was too obvious, given the clue, but perhaps it's C?

Yes, it is C. Not the greatest book to ever use a single letter in its title, but one of the initial ones in terms of alphabetical order. Unbeknownst to me, an online bookseller has already compiled a list of such titles:

Over to you for the next puzzle.
