Saw Gatsby yesterday.
Not quite sure how I feel about it yet, but I’ll be posting a review on the book blog sometime this week.

"Then came the war, old sport. It was a great relief, and I tried very hard to die, but I seemed to bear an enchanted life."
Jay Gatsby, The Great Gatsby (F. Scott Fitzgerald)
I think this is where Gatsby, as a person, first moved me. It doesn’t even matter if it’s true.

30 day book challenge - day 4
30 day book challenge - DAY FOUR.
4. Characters you hate and which books they’re from
First off, let me clarify that “hate” is usually too strong a word. In general, I do dislike a lot of characters - mostly because they are weak in a “I am now going to lash out to better people” type of way [see Ruth, William,…]. Weakness always bothers me more than outright evil. Also bad is characters who are destructive AND self-righteous. Killer combo right there.
Characters I’ve felt negatively about include:
- Ruth, Never Let Me Go
- Tom Buchanan, The Great Gatsby [because ARGH YOU AAAARGHH]
- Honestly, most of the people in Wuthering Heights - a book blog post about this is still to follow.
- William Rackham, The Crimson Petal and the White
- Shaddam Corrino, Dune and its preludes [because incompetent AND destructive? GREAT. Just great.]
- several others, but these stand out.

theiridescenceoflight answered your question: You choose, I read!
The Great Gatsby
And that makes two for Gatsby! I’m sure John will be proud despite my delay.
(Also GUYS this is going to be a movie with Carey Mulligan, who is one of my absolute favourite actresses)
