Book 48: The Great Gatsby

Like many of you, I read this in high school, lo these many, many years ago. I remembered only one thing about it, and that was something about Robert Redford and Mia Farrow. Oh wait . . . .

Well, I loved it. It was so well-written: so spare, yet so descriptive! I listened to the audio book, and it was just a delight to listen to.

And now I feel that education is wasted on the young. I should probably re-read everything I read in my youth.

  1. I re-read this fairly recently and absolutely loved it. I definitely liked it more than when I read it in High School. Fabulous.
