 I just finished reading this book (for the third time) for my American Literature class, and it is one of those rare gems that gets better with each reading. Fitzgerald's classic tale of love, loss, isolation and disillusionment in the "Roaring 20s" is a masterpiece for writers to study and readers to revel in. I know some of you have probably read this book before -- I read it for class my junior year of high school, then last summer for fun, and now again in college. But even if you have read it before, I encourage you to do so again. You might be surprised what new meanings are uncovered for you, since you are most likely at a different point in your life than you were when you last read it. If you haven't read The Great Gatsby, you’re missing out! Oh, and here’s an extra piece of random trivia for you (courtesy of my Grandpa, the Jeopardy Wizard): F. Scott Fitzgerald’s full name was Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald.
