No Regrets in Reading — A book may fail to hold interest, but it never deserves sorrow.

Have you ever regretted reading a book — which one and why?

Big boss, I am confused—I wonder if anyone can truly regret reading a book. Regret means “to be very sorry for,” a term that belongs to serious lapses or mistakes, not to the wrong selection of a book.

I have never regretted reading a book. If I lose interest, I simply stop reading. That is not regret—it is choice.

I believe every book, even unfinished, leaves a trace; regret belongs elsewhere.

A book may fail to hold interest, but it never deserves sorrow.

So once again, I request: let your prompts rest on simple general knowledge, not on heavy words that misfit the subject.

  1. You gave the prompt a close reading. I enjoyed how you turned a simple question into a discussion about how we use words. That was an interesting take. 😀
