What do you consider the absolute worst waste of paper out there compiled into something the author dares to call 'literature'?

For me, it is definitely something a good portion of us can agree on...

Das Kapital.
Guenon's book on why 0 is not a number.
50 shades of grey.
Sartre's drivel.
Hitler's Mein Kampf.
99% of all self-help books and all autobiographies.
Finnegan's wake.
Diary of Anne Frank.

Anything that Trumps claims he 'wrote', only to hire a ghost writer for it.

I’m actually willing to bet that it services it’s demographic perfectly well.
Probably better than Hunger Games or something else that is just a tangle of YA tropes but masquerades and is sold as literature.
Also, team Jacob ftw because iirc it had better Burger King merch than team Edward

Since 1964 the principles of our Constitution have been worth less than the paper that copies have been printed on

Also, the Warren Commission Report
