Better yet, go to your local charity shop and get something banal, vapid, and vintage.
50 Shades of Grey
My mom and I used to laugh over Nora Roberts’ Scottish family series.
I always find that the memoir of a loathsome politician is a good gift for a laugh. Easily picked up in a charity shop.

The dumbest thing you can buy is Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard. Added bonus: it’ll almost certainly turn your friend away from Scientology.
Go to a half priced books and check out the erotica section .. lots of cringe there lol
Amish Romances aka Bonnet Rippers
I was once given a book called Everything Men Have Learned About Women by Alfred P. Zilch. All the pages are blank!
Nicholas Sparks was very prolific..
bonus points because he used to come to this restaurant I worked at back in my early 20s, and he was such a jerk.
Yeh head to a charity shop look out for Dan Brown, 50 Shades of Grey, bad memoirs, TV and film books are usually odd and silly!
Everybody Poops a kids book. My friend keeps a copy in her powder room.
Any Patterson book is formulaic & vapid.
