I read this book because I am in a race with my friend to make it through the modern library's list of the 100 greatest English novels written in the 20th century. While I didn't see this as completely deserving of the number two status it received on the list, I am glad I read it. There were parts of the book that were so beautiful in their descriptions that I actually found myself lost. At one point, a description of Daisy I think, I missed my subway stop. I realize that I'm probably the only person who didn't read this book at some point in high school, but I think that anyone whose experience with this book is limited to that should reread this book. There are some dramatic elements that I should think would be missed by anyone but a gifted senior in high school.
