"It must be because you don't understand it, because if you understood it you'd like it."

Oh, I hate that. Nothing even to do with the classics, I love a great many of them, but that idea. That if you've read it, of course you liked it, and if you didn't then obviously you didn't understand it. I mean, I understand Titus Andronicus perfectly, I just don't happen to like the parade of rape, murder, mutilation and cannibalism, okay? You can understand a thing and still not like it, you can like a thing and still not agree with it, and just because something might be objectively good doesn't mean it's pleasant or necessarily enjoyable.

It wouldn't (and didn't) turn me off an entire experience. It does make me inclined to want to hit people, though.

And this is said in relation to Gatsby, no less. I understood that that book needed to die and then go away and then die again. How's that for cliff's notes?
