I am usually not too critical on things but by the good Lord in heaven "The Argonauts" by Maggie Nelson might just be the worst in recent memory. Had to read it for a class but man it is just terrible. I am not even sure what it is about except the author and her lesbian lover and their life with their baby. I hate the stuff it gets into, but that isn't even the reason I dislike it. I got about 40-50 pages in and every subsequent page felt like I was never getting closer to the conclusion. It just reads like some dumb bitch talking about her thoughts on really trivial shit and trying to make it interesting when there are maybe 2 or 3 interesting paragraphs out of the entire book but even then they are still incredibly dull. Best way to describe it is that it is just words on a page and every page is worse than the last.
