Anything by Jonathan Franzen. Arrogant, pretentious, moralizing, pseudo-intellectual prick. My mother (RIP) had a saying about people like Franzen: He thinks he's hot snot on a silver platter, but he ain't nothing but a cold booger on a paper plate.

I "tried" to read The Corrections and Purity. No thanks.

I've never read him but that's the same reaction I had to Cloud Atlas (David Mitchell). The author's forward just oozed this.

Amen. The Corrections is the only book I stopped reading because I hated the characters so much. I'm still pissed I paid money for that piece of crap book, thus giving it legitimacy.
