about to start calling all of my pals old sport
Mod
Me too, honestly. I have been waiting for this time to come.

A good, quick read. Watched the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio a long time ago, couldn’t help but to picture his face while reading the book. Going to watch the 1974 version now.
This didn’t live up to the first time I read it. My rating dropped which I’m so disappointed in but it’s still one of my favorite classics and I’ll definitely read it again in the future.
This was one of the classics that have been on my shelf for way too long. Great read! I felt the same pleasure reading Fitzgerald's writing as when I was reading East of Eden by Steinbeck.The whole time when Gatsby was on the scene I kept changing his appearance. Someone once pointed out how his descriptions were vague enough so one couldn't be absolutely sure.
