This thread is to discuss The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Pages: 200 pages

Length: 1 month (July)

Participants: Alaina, Lorraine, Patricia, Caterina, Saha

Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.

[Lorraine]

First time I will read this book. Don’t know why but I was really not sure I wanted to read this. But I am reading classics since the beginning of this year and had to jump in. When do you think you’ll start ?

[Alaina]

I’m excited also! I will probably be starting it very early in July since I was be traveling the next few weeks after

[Caterina]

Excited to join you and read this book again!

I recently finished Beautiful Little Fools by Jillian Cantor, which is a retelling of The Great Gatsby from the perspective of the women in the book. It made me want to reread this book, so this came at the perfect time!

I just finished the book. This is a short read. I am happy to have finally read it. I never saw the movies so I had no idea about the story. The characters are quite interesting. I find that they have a lot in common especially the way they see life and the future. I will wait for others to start reading it, or for their comments, before adding anything else.

I already finished reading this book. Just like Lorraine said, it's a short read and it was okay.
