Could someone please come here to my home and explain to my dogs that just because I am working from home, it doesn't mean that I am here to entertain them??!

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
I'm glad they included Karl Ruprecht Kroenen's tonfa blades from Hellboy, as those are the coolest weapons I've seen in a long while.

Books I regret reading Based on user votes.
I assume that it's not just the quality of the book but the subject matter.
For example, I recommend The Kite Runner, but I generally warn people that they might find it disturbing. I had no idea what the major plot points were before picking it up, so I can see where someone might regret reading it. There's a reason I chose not to read The Lovely Bones.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
sumi, that's a great list. I haven't seen all of the source material, but I agree with most of the choices for what I've seen. Except for Optimus Prime's sword, because that movie stank to high heaven. Nothing from it should persist.
I can't think of any books I regret reading because I'll stop if I'm not enjoying it
I also watch TV series way too long. Some crack about wanting to justify a negative opinion--and then look how I can't remember any ammunition. But at least I remember why Bones annoys me. For now.
My commute to my first job out here was so long that I was bored with my music. Books on CD was about it for keeping focussed--beat long phone conversations on many fronts.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't think I really regret reading anything I've read. Most of the books I didn't like, if I hadn't read them I would still be curious about them, so having read them at least let's me know that I don't like them.
Maybe Mason & Dixon, because I liked the idea of it wuite a bit but found the actual book rather meh. But, again, if I hadn't read it I would want to read it.

I wish someone else would cop to reading Xanth and/or Gor and tell me they disliked them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think I have a Xanth book somewhere, but I'm not sure that I've read it. If I did, I certainly didn't retain it so I am unable to regret it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I read a ton of Xanth when I was little, and liked them at the time, but eventually stopped.
