The Great Gatsby - What a joke
The guy couldn't even get 200 pages out of it? What a hack writer...

Great American Novel my aunt fanny.

Zelda was a better writer.

2. Damn, I thought I'd found someone else who hates that novel AND Fitzgerald
as much as I do. Fitzgerald's sentences, which I find poorly constructed and just...bizarre, give me a headache (literally).
