A long overdue reread. I can‘t believe this would be on any high school reading list because what would a teen relate to in this novel?

I can‘t say I enjoyed Fitzgerald‘s writing style, but I did enjoy examination of Nick‘s loss of innocence about humanity and the American promise of infinite progress.

Ruthiella I think it works for high schoolers in that the themes are pretty easy to get and write an essay about. 1mo
willaful It\'s one of the few required books I actually enjoyed. The Scarlet Letter, now there was a ridiculous choice.

My kid\'s English curriculum was so much more interesting!
1mo
Tamra @Ruthiella yes to the themes, pretty universal. But I‘m thinking the writing style & the fact the MC is 30 wouldn‘t be enjoyable. 1mo

“Do you always wait for the longest day of the year and then miss it? I always wait for the longest day of the year and then miss it.”

My summer solstice tradition is to read this book every year. This year we listened to it in the car while driving back from vacation.

Always a favorite of mine, and a perfect summer book.

1. My high school copy of THE GREAT GATSBY. All my notes as a 16-year-old are still in it. I have kept it through the years (now 42 years old). It is held together with a rubber band. 💚

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that‘s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . .And one fine morning-
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

4✨ I remember reading this in high school, but not quite understanding/remembering how it ended. As an adult I think I was able to absorb more of the story with understanding. This story is short, but it is expertly crafted. It‘s about love, loss, sacrifice, jealousy, bad decisions, and unlikely friends. I‘m glad I decided to do a reread.

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I‘ve been thinking I should do a reread of this soon as well. It was my most hated book that school made me read, but I feel like I would probably have a better understanding/different attitude about it now. 10mo
TheLudicReader I think this is one of those books that needs a re-read. I didn‘t even like it until I‘d read it three times. Now …I think it‘s a beautiful book. 🤣 10mo
Ruthiella I also read this first in high school and appreciated it more on a second read. 10mo
mandarchy This is an interesting conversation. I reread it and still didn't like it. Maybe I harbor too much shame about alcoholism. I'm still not sure why it's such an important read, but I'm not willing to give it a third try. 😂 10mo

This was definitely one of the best classics I've read. I'm trying to determine what and how I feel about the story. It definitely impacted me. My mind is turning it over and over. Tragedy of course. Misguided love. Depravity of human nature. Triumph of the soul. All these things. 3 words: I loved it. Read it

dabbe And for me ... this one never gets old. I was gobsmacked at 16 when I first read it, and I'm gobsmacked now as a teacher who was lucky enough to teach it for 17 years. #tggalways 💛💜🧡 14mo

An important read but other Fitzgerald books are better. “Babylon revisited” explores similar criticisms of the American Dream, over indulgence, wealth and poverty while being more interesting and attention grabbing than the Great Gatsby.

This was my first time reading a book by F. Scott Fitzgerald so i wasnt sure what to expect especially since the reviews for it over the years are very up and down but i have to say i did enjoy it even tho the first few chapters came off repetitive but overall the connection for the story came together beautifully. The Characters were very enjoyable and interesting to read about.

First, Gyllenhaal is a surprisingly adept celebrity narrator. 🤩 Knowing the story of how this book wasn‘t popular until it was mass printed for soldiers in WWII, I can see how the setting and hypermasculinity of Buchanan and Gatsby made this a hit. I can see why many high schoolers, myself included, relate to the gossipy elements of this story. That said, as an adult, this is just okay. It‘s been way over analyzed for a mediocre book. 🤷🏻‍♀️

wanderinglynn I totally agree that this book has been over analyzed and overhyped. I think Fitzgerald is an overrated author. There were better authors in his generation. 2y

The Great Gatsby well illustrates the hollow misery of a life lived primarily for self and money. I did not much like the story or characters, but I can admire the way Fitzgerald used tone and beautifully crafted sentences to tell the story beneath the surface.

I'm back! It's been so long. I went through a streak where I just couldn't read and I hated it. In order to get myself back into reading, I went to an old favourite - The Great Gatsby (my well-worn copy is pictured here). Hoping that now that I've finished this read, I can get back into it more consistently. #bookoneof2023

marleed We‘ve had a framed print of The Lady in Green for 30+ years - older than my kids. We affectionately call her Bullet Breasts. I also have a different edition of the tagged book, and the life of the artist Tamara de Lempicka is very interesting. This painting gives me serious Evelyn Hugo vibes! 2y
