The Great Gatsby
est:
Johnny, I didn't really like of Mice and Men either.
and man, don't even get me started on that fucking "To kill a Mockingbird" crap
Liz:
Of Mice and Men is one of my least favorite books ever, right up there with The Scarlet Letter. But I do love To Kill a Mockingbird, so I will fight you on that one.
dr.sangaygupta:
What about The Perks of Being a Wallflower?
As emo as that book is, its powerful...and a tad bit creepy.
KvP:
To Kill A Mockingbird is certainly overrated, but I don't think it's a bad book by any stretch of the imagination. But then, I guess I see it as a kid's book, so I give it some leeway for some things.
In our high school english classes we read TKAM, Gatsby and A Raisin in the Sun. Raisin in the Sun was the best of the bunch, I'd say, if just for Sydney Poitier's performance as Walter in the play/film.
MusicScribbles:
I actually still have my copy from seventh grade. I remember hating the play, but that was a while ago, and I rather enjoyed To Kill A Mockingbird in eighth grade and Gatsby in ninth was a great read. Either I matured as a reader, or Raisin In The Sun just isn't for me.
