Mein Kampf
I read it recently. It's not as boring as its reputation suggests. Some of what is said in that book took my breath away. The hatred steams out from just about every page. That's what makes it interesting. Evil is very interesting, for some reason.

George Eliot
5. Any book by George Eliot (95% probability of death by boredom before reaching the end)

It's pretty tedious, all right, although I find that character in "Middlemarch" who spent his life gathering evidence for "the key to all mythologies" rather interesting. Finds out at the end of his life his whole career had been for nought. There was no "key." Poor bastard.
