    They should have put up Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. Now THAT is an awesome book.

    I don't know what you Gatsby-haters are talking about. The Great Gatsby's a fantastic book.

    I would also like to point out that EoFF's front page being The Great Gatsby is about ten times as confusing if you're drunk like I was when that happened.

    Indeed. I'm reading a selection from the Guide for our "oral interpretation" of a story for speech class.

    I have vague non-loathing memories of reading that.

    confused as all get out, but it wasn't bad

    wow, I wish I did that. Great Gatsby is a great book. It's one of the most important works of American fiction, too. Maybe if we put more great literature up I'd actually look at the front site from time to time.

    Yeah, I'm sorry I missed it. I never read the book, but I really liked the movie.

    Finally some people agree. I loved the book. I liked the movie. And I loved the short story the book was based off of. I don't remember what it was called, but it was by Fitzgerald as well.

    I did like the movie... Robert Redford is a great actor...

    I think people are likening The Great Gatsby to their high school English classes. Nobody liked high school English, so this book represents all that subdued and misguided rage.

    I thought it was awesome. (the book, not people hacking here)

    Has anyone actually talked to the people who hacked the site, or was it a planned joke thing?
