You know the kinds of books your teacher forced you to read in school? There were some I liked, some I loved and some I hated. I'm afraid my english teacher made me don't like "The Great Gatsby". I get it's supposed to be a classic but IMO it's completely overrated and outright boring for the most part. That's not a popular opinion but yeah... that's what I think. And don't get me started at the movie. Yes, it is entertaining but it's not a "literature" dramatization at all. It's Baz Luhrman popcorn cinema - far too light and far to bubbly. But if it brings young people back to literature I'm all for it.
