Ever since I decided to leave facebook, I haven't really missed it at all with the exception of having a lot more down time at work. One thing I do miss is my virtual bookshelf which gave me the opportunity to show books I was reading, books I read, and one thing I really enjoyed, reviewing books. Over the course of this past semester, I haven't had too much time for personal reading, but with my semester ending last Tuesday I finally got the chance to finish a book.
"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald was a wonderful dark story. It seems to be a character focus for the majority of the book, focusing on the little detailed Jay Gatsby. Nick Carraway, the narrator, moves to a Long Island community known as West Egg, and his neighbor just happens to be the mysterious "Gatsby." After finally meeting him at one of Gatsby's social functions, the next few months are full of excitement, adultery and many rumors of Gatsby's past. It was slow to start, but once the plot started involving Gatsby, I had a hard time putting the book down.
