Get excited! We're going to be reading F. Scott Fitzgerald's greatest work, The Great Gatsby, for January's bookclub book. We decided this would be the best gender neutral pick since we have received some interested from male readers. It's also fairly short, which should give all of you slackers (Erin) time to finish Jane Eyre.
Synopsis
The mysterious Jay Gatsby embodies the American notion that it is possible to redefine oneself and persuade the world to accept that definition. Gatsby's youthful neighbor, Nick Carraway, fascinated with the display of enormous wealth in which Gatsby revels, finds himself swept up in the lavish lifestyle of Long Island society during the Jazz Age. Considered Fitzgerald's best work, The Great Gatsby is a mystical, timeless story of integrity and cruelty, vision and despair.
