It boggles my mind that some books are considered classics. While “The Great Gatsby” was quick reading, I found nothing redeeming about the story at all. I felt like I was having a conversation with a name-dropper. You know the type. They just talk and talk and talk about people assuming you know exactly who they’re talking about because they’re the coolest people ever, but you’re just thinking in your head, Who the hell are they talking about and why are they telling me this asinine story? With every new character that was introduced that is how I felt. I definitely wasn’t bored while I read it, but I can’t help but feel that this book was a complete waste of my time.
