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 :)
I was at a church yard sale once and found all three. Ever since I’ve tried to imagine who would donate those to a church sale. Now I know… Must’ve been one of the preschool teachers… shudder
lol, one of my perverse amusements is how much more likely you are to find porn on the salvation army bookshelves, compared with secular thrift stores. it’s like when a friend told me “if you want to get randomly laid … church groups!”
When I was in college I used to be a nanny and I would work for this family who was super religious and had like 7-8 kids. One day, the youngest baby was sleeping in a crib in the parents’ room and I’d heard her crying so I went to get her and I just happened to notice a book on the dresser titled something like “Understanding Your Spouse’s Sex Addiction”
Definitely made sense where all those kids came from…
Perfect twist would be if the husband bought this.
some of the other teachers and i made our own little friend group and some of them were fairly innocent. others… not so much. i think i fell kind of in the middle, lol (at least until i read those stupid books)
