My Great Gatsby Failure (twice)

[King Bob]

I've tried to read this book twice. The first time, right after the Baz Luhrman movie came out, I got about two pages in. This time I made it through the first chapter. I just can't do it. I found his style slightly annoying, and reading it felt like a chore. So I gave up. Again. So I wonder if any of you think it's the great book that people say.
