Thus far I have refused to read any if the Twilight books. Nothing to do with my morals, spiritual beliefs, etc I just think it is a children's book and I am an adult. I may end up breaking down and reading it though just because everyone else in the world seems to have done so!
Don't bother. They're marginally better than the movies, but not worth the time and only worth the money if they're borrowed. The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner was surprisingly good considering how poorly written the actual series is.
BUT, I (obviously) have no issues with adults reading children's books. (One I'm currently reading is clearly for a child.) When they're well-written, they serve - for me - the worthwhile purpose of helping me to get in touch with my inner-child, and all the good that comes with it. I see the world in a better light, I see people with kinder eyes, I regain a little hope.
Edited: I forgot the OP. Off the top of my head I can't really think of any specific book that I would absolutely not read. Like two previous posters, I'm unlikely to read anything written by Sarah Palin - as I have little respect for her as a public figure, less as a politician, and don't care much to know about her personal life. I may read Decision Points because, while I disagree politically with pretty much everything he stands for, am appalled that he allowed himself to be portrayed as dumber than a box of rocks, President Bush was president during the most significant events in American History that I've lived through.
I'm also unlikely to read any book written by a celebrity, who was published solely for her celebrity. If someone recommends one, I'll change my mind, but I can't see myself reading something written by Lauren Conrad, Hilary Duff, Ethan Hawke. I have read Anthony Bourdain's nonfiction and some of his fiction and literally cried from laughing so hard...
