With the addition of a few new quests today (yay!), I was curious... What are things that you have or are willing to do for a badge? The main things I think of are suffering through a book you aren't enjoying and buying a book you wouldn't otherwise buy. Have/would you do any of these things? Have/would you do anything else? Just how much do quests and badges motivate you?

Personally, I've suffered through books I don't enjoy and I just scoured the net for a couple of books that I probably won't want to keep, just to try and read all the books in a quest even though I'll just exceed the number of books for the highest badge. (Shoutout to The Monstrous Feminine quest!)

For me it happened 10 minutes ago. I hit up the library to get Palahniuk's Fight Club, and saw the titular book "Haunted". Now I heard a lot about that fucker, especially online, mostly about the short story "Guts". I never heard anything good about that thing, everyone said it its one of the nastiest things they have read in their lives. The back of the book said "67 people passed out in readalouds of Guts". So I obviously read it right then and there.

I really shouldn't have. Its 100% my fault that I laid my eyes on it. I already sent the synopsys to my best friend, just so he can suffer aswell.

So, what was your "I ignored all warnings and I regret it" story of yours? It doesn't have to be something disturbing, it could be just and overall very bad book.
