The Great Gatsby

This story just hurts so good. I can't believe I waited so long to finally read this novel. It's funny what spurred me to read this now was because it was mentioned a couple of times in the last book I read which was Norwegian Wood, which I did not even like that much. Contrary to that though, this book is so well-deserving of all the praise.

I do think I'll be needing time to process my thoughts on this one, but I would really love to re-read it just to see how my perception of it changes, knowing the events leading up to the end. Right now I just feel too dejected to write a level-headed review except to say that I'm really glad I read this now in my 20's. I probably would not have appreciated it as much if I read it in my teenage years.
