caio posted a link a while back that he frames by writing, "Writers, editors and critics share their thoughts on great pieces of canonical literature that, frankly, just aren't all that" http://hubski.com/pub?id=2880
The comment thread turned in to us talking about either books or authors that we can't get in to or think are overrated. The Great Gatsby took some lumps. Anyways it was a great discussion. It's pretty cool that F. Scott Fitzgerald took the time to write back a fan. You can see he wrote the letter from Paris. Have you seen Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris"?
