Shelves: genre-classics, 1-page-audio

Things I Learned from The Great Gatsby
1.Never let anyone else drive your car.
2.Rich people have the pettiest fights.
3.Why be yourself when you can make up someone infinitely more interesting.
4. Everyone likes a party. That won't get them to your funeral though.

Honestly, I could appreciate everyone in this book except Tom. He's everything that was wrong with the twenties.
