Please explain why this book is good /lit/

It's nothing special if you ask me

>> No.2216273

Pointless.

>> No.2216276

Because it is a beautiful and stunning depiction of the failure of the American Dream.
A particularly amazing scene is when Daisy placed a funnel into an asshole, and the 2nd whore pukes into it. After the ass is filled with puke, a cock then fucks it until the pressure is all built up. After the Asshole has been fucked hard enough, the cock is pulled out and the Anal cannon explodes! To top it all off, ass to mouth occurs, with both ladies licking off the fresh mix of vomit and ass for the ultimate anal dessert!

Because my tastes are different than whomever compiled that list, apparently.

The OP smacks of some high schooler looking for info on how to start his English essay on the Gatsby. I thought the book was stupid and predictable.

It does have a pretty cool cover though. Agreed?

>> No.2216470

what people have already mentioned here is why it's considered a good book. The short comings of the american dream, class, and social status. Also stuffed with symbolism and metaphors out the yin yang. But I think this would only be considered a good book to you if those were things you really cared about. I recognize that these are things that make the book relevant for reading but I am not really a fan of it either cause I could really care less.
