>>24850455>yes its trueyeah man, we knowall of us, ALL OF US, have had to thoroughly dissect every paragraph of this novel in high school, so we know its contents, there’s nothing about what’s on the page that’s a mystery to usalso that book is just brought up to be mocked, hence why only tom buchanan, the racist douchebag loon of the group, is the one singing its praises
Ion even really fw Gatsby like that. Shit was mid asl. Uncs obsessed over sum chopped huzz for a bill and sum change, nahhh, generational simp'n.
>>24850245My favorite novel is Mann's The Magic Mountain, my favorite short story is Wells's The Time Machine, and as for poetry I have a strong attachment to Stevens, Moore, Bishop, and Crane. I was born in 1963, and not particularly literary until around 1997, familiar as I was with subjects like very long baseline radio interferometry, stellar evolution, and corporate intrigue--courtesy of my dad.
