If you're a student in the states you might find that odd. I've not talked to a single person yet from high school that hadn't read the Great Gatsby. For some reason I wasn't assigned it in HS and since then never got around to it, even as everyone raves of it.
I'm starting it immediately (finally)- what do you all think of the book? Is it a masterpiece for the ages or simply of its time? Is it a romantic work? A cynical, a naturalistic? Just trying to inspire some feedback on what has such a hype about this book.
Thanks for reading and for any feedback.
