terrence ritchey (wiseraven2000) | 9 comments I read the great gatspy in high school and then reread it in 2000 its always angreat read i think i was born in the wrongnera


message 10: by Riya (new)

Riya (riyaishere) for some reason i didnt like the great gatsby AT ALL when I was forced to read it in high school; however, having read it again last month of my own volition turned out to be a pleasant experience - i really liked the story this time around!

this makes me wonder if i should reread all the classic books (theres about 5 or 6) that i read in high school that i didnt particularly care for. maybe this time i'll actually like them.

I watched a sneak trailer of it and Carey Mulligan is going to be a phenomenal Daisy. It looks amazing!
