It's definitely not a thrill OP, but after you've finished it you will be glad you did (finish it).

>>4585627
Why? Because of the plot?

>>4585607
yours is worse

>>4585635
The last sentence is one of the most sublime last sentences in English literature, but you'll only fully appreciate it if you've read the book it's attached to.

If it's a particularly good line, absolutely.

Are you a believer in the virtue of aesthetics, or aren't you?

>>4585724
Which are?

I love Anjelica. She looks like an elf

(Gatsby is bretty gud in English. Not toppest tier, but a very good American novel. It maybe is a little boring, but yes you should finish it)

>>4585732
yeah fuck off I mean what is the virtue of aesthetics
>you're the pain in my ass

>>4585770
I know full well what you meant, it's still a retarded question

>>4585789

>>4585531
Is this your first time reading a modernist novel?

>>4585531
Gatsby is tiny as fuck frenchie, take a couple hours out of whatever baguettes you gotta bake and cigarettes you gotta smoke from an odd cigarette pipe thing and black weird hat thing and wearing a horizontally lined white and black long sleeve shirt and black pants and talking about how much you wish you were born during the roaring 20's and sitting at a quaint cafe' in view of the Eiffel tower and someone is playing the violin in the background

>>4586054
Yes why?

>>4585531
Sure. It'll only take you an afternoon.

>>4585708
>HUUHH reading is boring, man
You really sound like this.
Sometimes it pays to take time for really interesting things.

>>4585531
Don't bother.
>Gatsby is rich
>The end

>>4588187
Yes I just finished it, it was allright, I'll go for gravity's rainbow now and hope it'll be better though, thanks you all

This

If you're reading it in French, there's no point. The plot is basically meaningless. It's good prose though.

>>4585531

American culture is world culture, it's a must-read.

try reading it again from the beginning with these insightful posts in might, op

HEY LIT I'M HALFWAY THROUGH READING THIS BOOK AND I'VE GOT TO SAY ITS SOOO BORING. WHY IS THIS BOOK SO OVERRATED? SHUD I KEEP ON READING? XD

In all honesty who else is fucking tired of these threads. What are the OPs of these threads looking for anyways? Encouragement? Reassurance? No amount of meaningful dialogue can take place if you haven't even finished the god damned book. To OP: this is one of the most important books of 20th century America. If you read it, you'll emerge with some valuable insight of the issues that plague the American conscious to this day. But please. Finish reading the book before you make a thread. Especially one as small as Great Gatsby. It took me one saturday to read it. Please.
