<p>@jazz/mom - the movie is exactly like the book its fantastic… honestly half of the words in the book are impossible to decipher so you have to reread passages over and over till you get it hahahaa… also one cool tidbit about the movie, the singing in the rain part while they’re giving the lady the old ‘in out in out’ was completely improvised…</p>
<p>@fulfillment - ayn rand <3… my favorite character was hank rearden from Atlas Shrugged… Probably one of the best books everrrr… I have yet to read the fountainhead, how is it?</p>
<p>@ everyone who put nick carraway and jay gatsby, the lost generation of writers wrote some of the most enjoyable books out there… Its fantastic to finally get a chance to go to school with kids who actually enjoy good books as opposed to those who read (or even don’t read them) just for the grade…</p>
