https://372pages.com/Conor Lastowka and Mike Nelson, both comedy writers on Rifftrax (Mike formerly of Mystery Science Theater 3000), torture themselves by reading awful books
it is presented as a book club where you read along with them, but you do not have to in order to understand the plot and have a good time listening to their bafflement
the books vary greatly in their degree and style of awfulness
their first book, the titular 372 pages, is Ready Player One with all its nerd arrogance and references and is as good a place to start as any
book 3 is the short story The Eye of Argon, long considered one of the worst stories ever written, a Conan-the-Barbarian style bit of dreck full of misspellings, malapropisms and purple prose, a real life example of "she breasted boobily down the stairs"
Grignr grappled with the lashing flexor muscles of the repugnant body of a garganuan brownhided rat, striving to hold its razor teeth from his juicy jugular.
"Aye! The ways of our civilization are in many ways warped and distorted, but what is your calling," she queried , bustily?
book 8 is called Trucking Through Time, a goofy, guileless story written by an author who clearly loves trucking and the old west, an uncynical person who just wanted to write the great American novel and failed
each of these three are good arcs to listen through
but there's also William Shatner's ghostwritten horrible sci-fi novel Tekwar, and the massive depressing sequel to Willow that no one asked for called Shadow Moon...
