We just read The Great Gatsby in my English class. It wasn’t terribly interesting to me. There were actually some interesting aspects throughout, but overall it was just rather boring and pointless. We’ve started watching the movie (2013) in class and are probably half way through it. I’ll post my findings in the proper thread when we finish.
I quite enjoyed Gatsby when I was in the same situation last semester. Better than the nigh-unreadable nonsense that is Their Eyes Were Watching God, the current assigned book in my class.
