MarMar Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Posted June 15, 2006 I'm currently reading "The Great Gatsby" for my English Literature class and i really like it. My class saw a documentary on the book before we started reading it, and when i began, i found it odd and very confusing that the narrator isn't actually Gatsby, it's a character called Nick. So that took me a while to realise. But it's very fluid and easy to read with a sort of tranquility to it, Nick's voice is that of a true storyteller. I am also proposing to read "The Remains Of The Day", to contrast and compare, in my English Literature courswork. xxx I love the Great Gatsby!

katya Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 The Great Gatsby is one of my favourite books. I did my dissertation in Sixth Year Studies English on Fitzgerald, so I studied the Great Gatsby, Tender is the Night and This Side of Paradise, looking at hedonism. Fitzgerald was an amazing writer.
