Lolita. Every five pages it made me so angry because the POV character is such a horrible manipulator that I had to put it down and do breathing exercises. But it's such a masterful example of an unreliable narrator and the prose is so beautiful that I couldn't help but finish it.
It's probably the best book I've ever read and will never read again due to the animal rage it elicits within me.
