The Great Gatsby

Good book, overall, just a very solid read. Beautifully written. There were some aspects that made Gatsby such a lovable character. We can take some of his philosophy and way of living and apply it to our lives and it would make them more exciting and alive, not necessarily better, but definitely more interesting.

One of the things that I take from this book, and that was even more emphasized having watched the movie adaptation of it, was the way in which scenery is depicted, regardless of how important or unimportant to the story it was. Everything so peculiar and embellished, no object in this book seems to go unnoticed and praised. Whether for good or bad. Whenever I think about Gatsby, I think mostly of the landscapes this book describes, that will stick with me for a long time, and to be honest I believe this to be a huge praise to the author.

This left me wanting to read more from the author in the future.
