And the only reason high school didn't totally put me off any book that counts as Literature was Tequila Mockingbird (what my Lit teacher always called it, she was pretty great. If Stevie Nicks fucked Morticia Addams, Ms B would be their offspring)

2023-12-27 19:25:46 +0000 UTCI know it's exaggerated, but I absolutely agree with Heath's opinion on this, (and so far every), book. It is certainly better written than The Catcher in the Rye and The Sound and the Fury, but it is still a shitty book. I flipped a coin in HS Literature class to decide between this or The Old Man and The Sea and had to read this garbage. I read The Old Man immediately after, just to see if that was maybe worse or something. It was the first and only time I'd felt both insulted and cheated by a school assignment. Gatsby sucks.

Years later I picked up Gatsby at a library and found it a real page turner. Helps to read books voluntarily.
