My classics include things like "Twilight" and "Little House on the Prairie." Yeah, cool. Have you read "Jane Eyre?" Totally must read. I have it if ya want it.<BR/><BR/>Hemingway . . . Fitzgerald . . . Salinger? Yikes. I just fell asleep.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, you'll have to do a book report blog on Gatsby.<BR/><BR/>I hope these next few weeks go quickly for you and Brian.I AM JOE PESCIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01194949478979092602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-420922155921124477.post-19572079027860229442009-02-01T18:24:00.000-06:002009-02-01T18:24:00.000-06:00Nice work on churning out your 100 miles!BTW, Gats...Nice work on churning out your 100 miles!<BR/><BR/>BTW, Gatsby wasn't from an English class. I was on a "read the classics" kick a bunch of years ago. I happen to think it's probably the best "Great American Novel" ever written. <BR/><BR/>Anyone care to disagree? I suppose Hemingway could give Fitzgerald a run for his money, but I tend to find his stuff boring. And Salinger's Catcher in the Rye was a big letdown once I finally got around to it. Unless it somehow flew right over my head, that story is truly about NOTHING.Brian Pattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08969463442598262423noreply@blogger.com
