May's Pick - The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald

  I can't believe it's been three months since I last posted. Rest assured, it hasn't been three months since I read. For some reason, I am really enjoying YA romance novels. "Slow Dance In Purgatory," by Amy Harmon, was especially good.
  
The Great Gatsby - Francis Scott Fitzgerald  
  Most of us have read this month's selection in high school, studied it's symbolism and metaphors. I'm picking The Great Gatsby to reread, this time just for fun. And, of course, to compare to the movie. I encourage everyone to read, watch, then comment below. What did you think of this movie version compared to the classic novel? Good adaptation? Or maybe it doesn't matter with Leonardo DiCaprio starring.
