I recommend The Great Gatsby. 
 ... Oh, Gatsby. *crey crey* 
 The drama should've turned me off. While listening to the first chapter of the Great Gatsby, somehow it reminded me of the characters' theatrics in Pride and Prejudice. Flirty, silly, annoying. If this was Gatsby's narrative, it would've been a disaster. Fortunately, Nick Carraway was the perfect person to tell Gatsby's story. 
 Of course I could not understand Gatsby's madness undying love for Daisy. That social climbing, opportunistic girl?!! Sigh. And just like Nick, I was apprehensive about Gatsby. What kind of man would throw lavish parties in order to draw out a married woman into it? The simple intrigue was interesting enough for me to continue listening. 
 In the end, Carraway's unexpected affinity to Gatsby made the drama (and the heartache) worthwhile. I mean, if I strip down the shallowness and immorality of the characters, I found strength in Carraway's steadfastness to stand by Gatsby after everything. The tragedy would normally strike me in a sour manner, but it didn't. And I was glad. :D 
 What happened to Jay Gatsby, it was unfair. But he had it coming when he started messing with another man's wife, yes? And Daisy moving on, how dare her. (Yes, I hate you.)
