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 :)

    It’s so long ago that I don’t remember an awful lot of it, but for me the scene that stands out was where he, putting it mildly, chomps down on a lady where no person should chomp. Also the rats. I do also wonder though, how would I feel now if I read it? But the general dread of having to go through that scene and all the others that lurk slightly out of sight in my memory… no, thank you
