I remember reading The Great Gatsby in high school; I was not impressed. I didn't know much about the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, organized crime, or the First World War to understand a lot of what was going on. There's a lot of subtext to the story, and the pop culture knowledge that readers would have had when the book came out is very different than what current readers have.
