What book have you read that wasn’t subjectively “bad” but you regrets reading all the same?

For me, Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter. The book was engaging and it kept me on my toes, but I just with I hadn’t “poisoned my head” with all the graphic gore that was in there. I years later i still think about this and how I really wish I had never read it.

Question inspired by a comment /u/PrincessOfWales made in another thread :)

    Yeah, the tone and humor plays better in the movie. The business card scene is still funny in the book, but something about hearing the inner monolog as Bateman sweats over fonts takes it up a notch. And how they handled the Huey Lewis and The News scene was much better .

    I have not read Glamorama, I’ll have to check it out!
