Here is my list of alternates, and looking over my first list, I think that I might need some of them: 1. The Great Gatsby 2. Alias Grace 3. Oliver Twist 4. The Old Man and the Sea 5. Invisible Man 6. Beloved 7. Frankenstein 8. Dracula 9. Get Shorty 10. Dangerous Liaso ...

Just so you don't keep wondering, it is not The Great Gatsby.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say The Great Gatsby. Maybe. No, wait, the main character's name is Nick in that. Nevermind.

... first time, so it's a balancing act. I re-read A Prayer for Owen Meany and The Sparrow every year or two. I re-read The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye about once a year. I've already started thinking about my reading resolution for 2009, and it will definitely involve a set ...

... The Collector, The Magus, and French Lieutenant's Woman. Second choice is Fitzgerald, because, although I think The Great Gatsby is brilliant to the point that I read it twice in the past year or so, it's the only Fitzgerald I've read (so far).

I tend to agree with you--many kids already know they like Harry Potter, but they probably won't know they like The Great Gatsby or other classics if they're not made to read them. Plus, reading at least some of the classics is part of being educated!! There was a boy at my high school whose ...

... So I'm just trying to picture high school without The Scarlet Letter, Hamlet, The Grapes of Wrath, Jane Eyre, and The Great Gatsby. It seems insane! Yes, I didn't always enjoy the books we read for school - Heart of Darkness, ugh! - but I think the introduction of a variety of ...

... I found that The Da Vinci Code was middle of the road, I didn't love it but I didn't hate it. I also feel that way about The great gatsby but I think that's only because I had to read it twice and I found more appreciation for it in college than I had in high school (still don't like it that ...

The Great Gatsby. I loathe that book. Read it in high school and hated it, then a couple of years back, I decided to read it again to see if my dislike was due to being an immature teenager. Nope. It just sucks.

... so I got to experience it twice. Yippee! I turned to Cliff's Notes the second time around. I also never connected with The Great Gatsby. I remember my teacher telling me I didn't get it. Yeah, I didn't.

In terms of stuff we had to read in school, Great Expectations and The Great Gatsby both fell waaaay short of "great" in my mind. I was also unimpressed with Catcher in the Rye. Look at me, I'm Holden Caulfield and I swear a lot blah blah blah.... is that too harsh? I haven't read it ...

This morning on the tram to work, I started reading The Great Gatsby. At first I started with the introduction (it's a Wordsworth Classic pocket edition) but after a few pages I saw that it was spoiling the plotline so I delved in. Loved the first 10 pages! Now I have something to look forward to ...

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

... anything else by him... It could be because it reminded me of the setting of The Crucible, which I loved. I hated The Great Gatsby but typically love F. Scott Fitzgerald. As for the Irish authors, they seem to be polar opposites, you either love or hate them, very little in ...

... a collection of shorter Irene Nemirovsky works. Right now, I'm working on David Golder which reminds me a bit of The Great Gatsby mostly for its portrayal of the lifestyles of the noveaux riche in the Roaring '20s. I've also been slowly reading The Other Nineteenth Century which ...

... tags seem to be getting copied to multiple books in the last few days... My tags for Spy: The Funny Years have jumped to The Great Gatsby, and Duma Key's tags are appearing on Ulysses. I liked Duma King and all, but its no Ulysses. There are others that this has been happening to as well. ...

... I can remember the plot and main character(s) of every book I've read since fifth grade english class, yet I have now read the great gatsby twice, and still can't remember the story.

Gah! #124, you have run me through with a fondue fork! It makes me terribly sad that you didn't give The Great Gatsby a fighting chance. It's not even like you'd be miserable for that long; it's under 200 pages. I find it a really stunning novel and really enjoyed the chance to read it. And about ...

33. The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald : (reread) I had forgotten the joy of rereading books. I read this book some time ago, and it's currently the assignment for my H. English III class. I loved this book even more the second time through - it seemed wittier and more moving. I recommend ...

#216/222 - The Great Gatsby? Dang I'm too slow in catchin up on threads.... To keep the game going - Cover shows a profile view of a lawn gnome sitting behind the wheel of a car; author's name is in yellow at the top, title is in white letters.

#216 is The Great Gatsby.

... were more books chosen for me that I hated than what I liked. I don't think I'll ever grow to like Gulliver's Travels or Great Gatsby. EVER! #23 I was referring to the content with heaviness. I would've been more than happy with the romance at that age. LOL. If I'd been reading Harry P ...

18. The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald The decay of American morals… greed, love, jealousy, and greed told in beautiful words. Fitzgerald captures the wealth of the Long Island area in the 20’s with the help of Nick, the narrator. This is one of the few times that I’ve read a book ...

A couple of so-called classics that I should probably love and do not: The Great Gatsby and Wuthering Heights. Another, more recent book that was highly thought of here on LT but I cannot stand is Beautiful Children by Charles Bock. I did not even bother finishing it.

I can't believe I haven't read Jane Eyre, The Great Gatsby, The Grapes of Wrath or Wuthering Heights. I was an English major! And now I'm a librarian!

The Great Gatsby is my favorite "G" book. I know that a lot of people can't stand it because of the characters, but it's a book that has stuck with me, eight years after I read it.

... the memoir is structured around the books their book club read. I also enjoy the way classics of the English canon like The Great Gatsby and Lolita are interpreted differently in a non-Western context. It's my favorite memoir, hands down.

... the near future. Books that I've truly abandoned over the years are Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift and the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Classics, I know. They just bored me to tears. As does most Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. Come to think of it, I ...

The Great Gatsby listening to Louis Armstrong's Hot 5's and Hot 7's Dodsworth listening to Paul Whiteman's Orchastra play Gershwin.

... I read the first two of the series years ago and I'm able to remember quite a bit of Harry Engstrom's life. As for The Great Gatsby I hated it in high school and have yet to go back to it. I found the teacher frustrating because we spent so much time on parts of the book that I felt ...

oh yeah, you won't be sorry. If you're a fan of The Great Gatsby you'll really enjoy it.

I also loved The Great Gatsby, but I had a fantastic English teacher, so that probably explains it. I also really enjoyed The Scarlet Letter, which is another that doesn't go over well in high school. The only book I did not like was Great Expectations, though I can appreciate it more now. ...

Thanks, Perlle. Great list, very little controversy on it, unlike the 1001 list. And I see the Great Gatsby is on it :-). I was just waxing poetic about it earlier today on a related thread.

... 58, 59 Great Gatsby I want to be very careful to phrase this right and not come across offensively. I have taught Great Gatsby to high school students numerous times and I would say with great success. The more I read it and the more I teach it, the more I find to admire in the book, a ...

#55 & 56: I don't understand why a teacher would assign the Great Gatsby to a high school class. I think it is a rare teenager who would find that book interesting. I read it in my 20s and even though I loved the era, I didn't like the characters and found the story boring. I think I might like ...

#55 -- I recently read The Great GAtsby for the first time as well -- overrated, IMHO. Just read Villette and now reading Wide Sargasso Sea

I am accomplishing what I should have abashedly completed in High School; reading The Great Gatsby.

... North Allen Ginsberg's 'Who Runs America?' alongside Walt Whitman's 'Prairie Sunset' and the closing passage of 'The Great Gatsby', F.Scott Fitzgerald's story of the disintegration of the American Dream.

... to say Pride and Prejudice. In addition to it being my favorite, it's the one I turn to for comfort or a good re-read. The Great Gatsby, Jane Eyre, and To Kill a Mockingbird are the others that tend to really draw me in every time I read them.

I might be noted that 2 of my favorite books were both published in 1925: F.Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, and Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy, which was originally published in a 2 volume set, and a substantial bestseller too, but didn't quite make the list.
