What books or authors have been ruined for you because of a past relationship? These are books or authors you once loved that are now tainted simply by association. Books or authors that are unpleasant reminders of an ex partner or loved one. Maybe a book or author your ex introduced to you. And now the association is so strong that you're unable to enjoy that book or author.

Response by poster: I can no longer read any book by Michael Ondaatje. Specifically, The English Patient, it now sits on my shelf and mocks me. A beautiful hardcover edition that I can no longer pick up or leaf through because it contains too many memories of my ex-gf.
