The Great Gatsby!
Have you guys seen the movie?? It looks like quite the spectacle (in a good way), and I definitely plan on checking it out. Tell me what you thought!
Some fun Gatsby facts that I didn't know:
1. The Modern Library named The Great Gatsby the second best English-language novel of the 20th century (the first was Ulysses by James Joyce).
2. One alternate title for the book was, Under the Red, White, and Blue
3. The four line poem at the beginning of the book entitled Then Wear the Gold Hat was credited to Thomas Parke D’Invilliers. He never actually existed and was a character from Fitzgerald’s first novel, This Side of Paradise.
4. Hunter S Thompson, author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, retyped The Great Gatsby just to get the feel of writing styles and how writing a novel was like.
