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 :)

    Both were so captivating, I remember them so vividly. They make excellent audiobooks as well.

      Richard Poe did Blood Meridian and Suttree and Tom Stechschulte did No Country For Old Men and The Road. Both are incredible narrators who I often look for, I currently have East of Eden in my wishlist just because Richard Poe narrated it. (and it’s also a classic)
