BEAT: I Enjoyed Reading the Great Gatsby

[PattdownManiac]

Back in school we had to read the Great Gatsby and everyone was like omgz this book is so long and boring, worst book ever. But I was kinda like, hey this book ain't so bad. Then the last 150 or 200 or so pages or whatnot where it gets exciting I read for like 6 hours and enjoyed the book.

The next day during our "reading time" in class I was like I finished the book lolz and the teacher totaly thought I was lying and thought I just watched the movie. No one would believe anyone could enjoy reading The Great Gatsby on their own time [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

Maybe I just went to school with retards who could not appreciate anything that read slower than On The Road or Catcher in the Rye.

Great Gatsby = greatest American novel of all time. I've read it ~8 times.

and yes, high school students are retards.

Isn't the book like 200 pages long total?

Edit: dammit too late. But yeah no wonder your teacher thought you didn't read it if you were like "yeah, that sumbitch took 30 hrs, but I made its full 1000 page girth my bitch"

It's really short, that's for sure. I was kind of thrown when it was talked about as it if were long.
