Anyone regret reading a book?

"Go Set a Watchman" by Harper Lee. Poor, poor Jem. It felt like I had lost a real friend when I read that. I wish I could get it erased from my memory.

"The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. Just relentlessly grim.

A Mother’s Reckoning by Sue Klebold

(Mother of Dylan Klebold Columbine school shooter)

Don’t know what I was expecting but not stories of a regular kid who had spent hours the week of the shooting with his dad going through the measurements of the dorm rooms at the college he wanted to go to...working out where he’d have the most space because he was so tall.

It unsettled me.

Church on Tuesday

Cormac McCarthy's Child of God a relentlessly grim disturbing read.

Eggs For Dinner

John Grisham's An Innocent Man. Like reading a shopping list. I know it is non-fiction but there wasn't any flow to it.

Healter Skelter was disturbing too but a cracking read.

"Peig" never again.

There is humor in it. And it will your improve your knowledge of 80's

The chapter when he tries to cook I found laugh out loud.

I read 1984 at the wrong time in my life, I wasn't in a good place then.
Now I just don't think it's a great book.

“Does God Love Michael’s Two Daddies?” by Sheila K. Butt.

Almost funny but sadly just homophobic.

Tried Atlas Shrugged as well. Complete claptrap and borderline unreadable.

Communist Manifesto by Marx was complete scutter as well. Boring bastard.

Ditto.

Someone recommended The Shack to me before by William Paul Young. Offensively awful book.

BTW I thought That they may face the rising sun was a superb book. Different strokes I suppose...

meeeeh

Dante's Divine Comedy. Because the translation was excellent and therefore complete nightmare to decipher. On every page there were half a page of citations and explanations.

Only later I discovered a more basic translation that was 10 times easier to read.

Any book that requires you to read another book to explain what the first one was trying, obviously unsuccessfully, to say.

An Erotic Life, by Dennis Reynolds.
