Here ye, here ye.

I never paid much attention to Gatsby in school, and only remember the beginning of Catcher, and also the part where he wants to save the innocence of the children. That part actually struck a chord with me, even back in high school.
I don't really have an opinion on them. 
But I don't see a reason to hate them, other than the fact that everyone thinks they are great, and it's 'cool' to hate them.
Don't know, don't care.

Godspeed, yon rogue!

I think this is really only a memorable book if you read it in high school. If you read it for the first time when you're, i don't know, twenty five, you'll probably find Holden an annoying twat. I didn't care much for the book when i first read it. It was on a train going somewhere, i think i was fifteen[?], but i've always had a liking for Holden. He's no Ignatious Reilly, but he's a nice character.
Gatsby though, i quite like.
Yeah, never could understand how somebody could hate Gatsby.
If you put fried rice on top of a pizza, then eat the whole thing and a liter of coke to yourself, naked, I'm pretty sure that's helly close to liberation.
I mean seriously, he's great. It's right in the fucking title.
Honestly, though, I never really read it. I was anti-reading in high school. Very lazy. STraight A's, but lazy as shit.

WTG on the subtle brag there!

I thought the consensus was just the opposite. You like Catcher when you're 15, and you understand teen angst and such. Then in 10 years, you re-read and realize Holden needs to grow up and stop being a little B-bomb.
At 15 I loved it, at 20, I thought to myself, "How did I ever tolerate such garb?"
Gatsby I disliked (not hated, but definitely not enjoyed) in high school. I'd give it another chance, but not for a while, there's much more important stuff to be read.
It probably didn't help Gatsby's chance of being liked by me that I crammed the last half of the book into one night and lost way too much sleep trying to pound through it.

If you like Gatsby, you approve of domestic abuse upon women.
THIS IS THE HAPPIEST TALE EVER TOLD EVER.
Two blondes walked into a train track. Between the two of them, you'd think they'd--
Now now, Ritt, don't lump us wife beaters with those Gatsby hippies.
Spartan art is the real made hysterical.

Fitzgerald can suck my dick while Salinger tongues my asshole.
"It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream - a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought - a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities."
