The Great Gatsby
Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose of the "Jazz Age". Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him.

One of my all-time favorites. Love the symbolism and prose! Love the contrast between the glamorous and shimmering lifestyle, and the deep sadness of the characters.
This quote comes to mind: "When your past calls, don't answer. It has nothing new to say." Gatsby: a daydreamer antihero. Fitzgerald: disturbingly brilliant.
“They were careless people; they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness.” – To me, this one line will always remain as the essence of this book.
