But, I read it in high school. I’ll probably have to reread it now that I’m older to see whether I’m right or wrong.
How to read The Great Gatsby
How I did it: I borrowed the book from my brother. I already knew how to read. Then I read the book.
It took me 4 days. I read the book cover to cover. What more does 43 things want me to say?

I have so many classics to read! I just finished Wuthering Heights, now I’m moving on to the The Great Gatsby. After that … I think Heart of Darkness.
I brought this book a while ago, because I’ve always hear people say how great this book is. I am going to work on this book now. Starting…

In the meantime, I did pick up a collection of FSF short stories – to set the mood.
