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 :)

    My Antonia. Assigned grade 9 (USA) and I struggled to stay awake for it. It just bored me. The movie with Whoopi Goldberg and Neil Patrick Harris was good in memory. Now that I’m separated by decades from 9th grade I should try it again.
