Never attempt to read the sci-fi book 'Henry Morgan'. I had been reading 40-some years when I finally ran into a book that was so bad that I couldn't read more than a quarter of it.

One of the positives of getting into science fiction as a kid was finding out as an adult that a great many of the SF novels I read from the library's children's section were Golden Age adult novels. The plots, language, or characters weren't dumbed down, but there was no sex or bad language.

I got a free copy and decided to read it so I'd know what Paul Ryan was forcing his staff to read. I got to Page 78 and just threw it against the wall. I imagine there's a book store near the capital that makes yacht payments on their Cliff's Notes sales.
