I have joined a bookclub.
My sewing machine broke while I was attempting to turn a painters sheet and a hula hoop into a change room for my market stall.
I have been a little bored and haven't happened accross a good book for a while.
So when a friend of a friend started an online bookclub I jumped at the chance.
We read 'The Great Gatsby"
I have read this before, in highschool, but it never really grabbed me.
It's a quick and easy read.
I am interested to see what the other bookclub members have to say about it.
I am not quite sure what Mr Fitzgerald was trying to get at.
Perhaps "don't be fooled, there are no happy endings" or perhaps this was his version of a happy ending.
Why do they make highschool students read this book?
I might have to read what Wikipedia has to say on the matter.
Have you read 'The Great Gatsby"
What do you think F Scott Fitzgerald was trying to say to everyone?
Hi, I was recently invited to join a book club but haven't read that book yet. Will have to suggest it for the next read. We are reading The Other Boleyn Sister at the moment and it is a fascinating read if you haven't read it yet. Happy reading! Sorry your machine broke...that's one of my greatest fears!
ReplyDeleteI have read "The Great Gatsby" but it was so long ago that I can't actually remember the ending. It didn't leave much of an impression on me at all. Maybe I should re-read it now that I'm little more mature.
