A Case of Conscience. I take it on faith that there's something good about this book, but I considered it the worst SF novel that I'd read in the last 10 years.

I am not sure that is what James is aiming at. I think he means a book that you consider well written, but hate anyway. I think I am going to go with something by Cordwainer Smith myself. I can tell he is a good writer with interesting ideas and I cannot stand his writing.

If I was going with writing that I think is actually dreck but other people love and respect I think it would be Neuromancer.
