The Great Gatsby

I’m so grateful to have been reminded to read this through again. Fitzgerald’s granddaughter, who pens this version’s prelude and introduction, talks about how The Great Gatsby should be re-read each 10 years of one’s life, because it holds such a different meaning and truth in one’s teenage years (where most read the book), 20’s, 30’s and beyond. She’s right. I couldn’t appreciate the depth of Fitzgerald’s characters then, and I will learn so much more as I return to the book again a decade from now.
