Gabriel Garcia Marquez's _Autumn of the Patriarch._ I distinctly remember that when we were assigned it as summer reading between 11th and 12th grade, I got to page 40 and counted six periods — that is, six sentences covered 40 pages. I threw the book across the room and told the teacher I refused to read it. (She told me I was the only one in a class of 30 who had even tried.)
