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 :)

    The shack.

    It’s about how a father found religion and himself after his young daughter was kidnapped, other bad things happening to her, and her being killed.

    It was recommended by someone I knew and I think it was an Oprah book or something. I do not know why i continued reading it. I was not going through anything to make me want to read something like that. It was extremely, extremely difficult and heart wrenching.
