The Great Gatsby - Reader's Library Classic

There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.

Extravagant rumors abound of a man named Jay Gatsby who has newly arrived to the coastline of a section of Long Island known colloquially as West Egg. Long into the night, the mysterious Gatsby threw lavish parties at his sprawling estate, but when alone, Gatsby could be found staring longingly at a solitary green light across the dark water. For all Gatsby has attained in his life, that green light represents all that he lost.

The greatest story to encapsulate the roaring twenties, The Great Gatsby follows the eventful lives of the denizens from East and West Egg in this timeless classic of American literature.

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.

Read this back in middle school and cannot say it holds true for myself but also those striving through unique struggles of their own.

I was supposed to have read this in 10th grade but didn't finish. Finally I got back to it & read it all in a day. I liked it, but the greatness of it didn't jump out at me like I was hoping. I think there is more to it then what I garnered, so a re-read may be in order...
