Query: First book I ever threw in the trash

I love books and reading. I read Traveling Mercies and enjoyed it and learned and was touched by it. I tried to read this book but couldn't get past the Bush bashing. Comparing him to Osama bin Laden was the last straw. I wouldn't recommend this book to anybody, except maybe Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid.
