Hi I’m Holden Caulfield and even though not too long ago a bunch of guys manned up and lost lives and limbs liberating a continent, I’m going to bitch and moan about how tough it is as a rich kid to grow up and deal with an adult world.

Gatsby is the most overrated book in history bordering on booring.
I'm sorry, that distinction goes to The Catcher in the Rye.
Wow, it's a close race, I'll give you that. What I never understood is why people give Gatsby and Catcher to high schoolers to read when they could give them this:

I'm sorry, that distinction goes to The Catcher in the Rye You are both right.
I love to read. I read every thing from stuff so complex that I have to draw a diagram to tell who is doing what to who to simple sweet stories with plots you can out line with a dozen words.
Gatsby and Catcher are two works of fiction I can not stand.
