Another...Book List. Grrrrr!

[DiscoDan]

oh and by the way, The Great Gatsby isn't that bad! I was forced to read it for my AP English class and thought it was fairly entertaining. Usually those classics they assign to be read are always a chore to pick up, but I actually found myself wanting to know what happened next with this one.

Of course with that said, there are a lot better things to read for pleasure, but it is a classic and probably everybody that's been to college will have read it, so you might as well too.

i read great gatsby for 10th grade honors english. it took me a few pages to get into it, but i didn't mind picking it up to read. unfortunatly a girl in my class gave away the ending -_- so i suppose it wasn't as fun to read

Yes, but once you eventually finish, you will feel as if you've finally reached the top of Mt. Everest. Not everyone has, but it's rewarding for those who do.

East of Eden...great choice.
