Bookburnings

In general, I don't support book-burnings. Because, yeah, I might not like the books, but it's too close to censorship for me.

Regardless, I have had books I would have cheerfully used to kindle the fireplace, had we not had gasheating. Despite that, and inspired by this thread on the SDMB, I pose the question:

What book would you want to burn, no matter what reason? For sake of argument, you only get to burn the copy you own yourself. ;)

I'd have to say 'Middlemarch', George Eliot. I hated that book. That said, last time I tried to read it was in Year 8 (so nigh on nine years ago now) for an assignment and I didn't manage to make it through, so perhaps I should try and reread it before going straight to burning.
