[Worst popular books](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=539820)

I just found a thread that I don’t think was listed, from June 2010:

It’s been about two years since this thread has had an update–but a new member just asked for a compilation, so I’ll add [A new thread with science-fiction recommendations](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=858170), with an emphasis on the classics.
