Same here about "Catcher in the Rye" (although I only read it once).
I've heard that it's a generational thing. Times were supposedly different when it was first written. As for me, I didn't get it.
I liked "The Great Gatsby" though.
- zmonteca 17y agoI thought all three were excellent. Of the three Great Gatsby was by far my favorite. How can you not love the typically millionaire who has it all and suddenly kills himself. He should have realized he could have just bought a russian bride.
- alex_c 17y agoThat's amusing - I didn't get "The Great Gatsby" at all, but liked "Catcher in the Rye". I doubt I can articulate why I liked it, though - neither the plot nor the characters were about "likability", and I can't say I walked away with any profound life lessons. It was unique among books I've read in that I put it down at the end and thought "Wow, that was something... but I'm not sure what."
