Yes! I read it and other classics when I was ~20. Maybe it was my age/where I was in my life at the moment, or that I didnt "read into it correctly", but it was one of the most boring things I've ever read. Nothing ever happened. I'm on of those the article mentions that would call it "a dud". At the same period of time I also read Catcher in the Rye and loved it. Not sure if I would feel the same about it today. And maybe Gatsby would have grown on me now. But I'm not gonna try again, so much other good stuff to read.
