The bible (and other religious text). It just creates too much of a divide, hate and bigotry and is also very contradictory.

Yeah, who wants a book that teaches people to not kill, not steal, to be faithful to their spouse, to love their enemies, and to help others. Don't blame the bible for people's individual choices to not follow what it says.

Yeah, many other religions teach the same. But only 3 out of the 10 commandments are actually practical to all and are no brainers. For a god that has thou shall not kill as one of his top tens, he sure does a lot of killing.

basically a long drawn out poorly written story about a girl falling in love with an obsessive sparkly vampire, who is over 100 years old and still attends high school with his "family" which are other vampires he has lived with for decades. The books go onto share a story of their love which is basically him stalking her, breaking into her house to watch her sleep and is basically extremely possessive. Then she falls in love with a werewolf dude but eventually marries sparkly vampire and get pregnant. Then as she gives birth the werewolf dude falls romantically in love with the new born. There's more but that's just the jist of this terrible story.

Not written as such, but published.... ‘Go Set a Watchman’, billed as a sequel to ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’. It was never a sequel, it was a first draft of the original book that Harper Lee was deeply unhappy with, to the extent she left SPECIFIC instructions it never be published. A year after her death, Harper Collins roll out her ‘hidden gem’, kept in a safe until they could profit off it, completely ignoring her wishes. And as a book, it crushes the deeply important and cherished narrative of the original. Greedy publisher travesty.

"Should Have Never Been Written" is a loaded phrase. There are books I wish didn't exist, like many of the Oppression-Hierarchy books that have been flooding the market by FOTM philosophers. Saying they shouldn't exist implies I wish to censor them. While I disagree strongly with those seeking to force us all into racial categories from which we cannot ever escape, saying that they shouldn't get their say is a whole matter all together. Censorship is a very dangerous road, and it is best to avoid it altogether if you can.

There is this book called "Quarantine." I read it, thinking it was about COVID-19 but it wasn't. It was about a teen who had been exposed to "tropical mono," and kissed a boy so she wouldn't have to quarantine alone. It was terribly written and I wasted time in my life reading it.
