Damnit Gato, The Great Gatsby is a great book!
You read Rand for god's sake, I couldn't finish Atlas Shrugged if my life depended on it.
And if you won't at least cede to that, you can surely at least agree that anything Dan Brown writes is much worse than horse shit.

I don't consider Dan Brown serious literature. His stuff is a kind of fast-food literature. I don't care for it, but you can't compare anything he has done with a world-renowned work such as the great gatsby.

I was just so furious that I threw out random stuff,
Anyway, why is it world-renowned?
because it's a good book, why would people read it otherwise, besides for school

Just because something is world-renowned doesn't make it good. :lol:

I'm too exhausted to use logic right now, can we please keep this on a creationist thought level?

Because they're sick in the head maybe? The book IS garbage. Gato is right, and he's going easy on the waste of paper that this shit book is. Fucking horrible.

I hate the metaphors in this book. "The eyes on the bilboard were like the eyes of god..." Yeah? And the paper used to make this book is like the toilet paper I wipe my ass with. :roll:

Psht.

The DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons were dumb, but entertaining, books.
At least TDVC gave us a rather nifty little porn movie parody :lol:

But why people around the world still insist on reading my fellow countrymen Hamsun and Ibsen is beyond me. The little I've read from them has been boring beyond belief.

He seems to not hate Hedda, though. Isn't this a contradiction? :lol:

I find it curious that a woman could be a dude. Wouldn't it be better to refer to her as a bad dudette? :lol:

And who here could disagree with such a conclusion?

Anyhow, I like some of Ibsen's stuff. Can't agree with Nora just abandoning her kids at the end of A Doll's House, though.

Yet at the same time, the alternate ending BLOWS!
