Sometimes classic fiction is avoided just because it is classic and we have preconceptions of the style or content of the book. I read The Great Gatsby last weekend and was pleasantly surprised while a little slow in the beginning it made me think about people and greatness. Just like the book my conception of Gatsby and his character changed through out the book.

The best books are those that are still readable in future generations and can still prompt discussion. I appreciated this one more when I got older.
ReplyDeleteThe high school reading list is better appreciated as an adult.
