jlh: Bennett Cerf smoking a pipe (Bennett Cerf)
[personal profile] jlh


I love how big "egg" is, and "old". Poor Nick is of course nowhere to be seen because the book is told in first person. I like the "one came looked like" foursome in the middle, too, and "little know." Looking at the wordle reminds me of how hard core I am about Gatsby, just about my favorite book—oh, I adore it so, and more every year.

Cryptically: yes, you-know-who-you-are, you told me so, and yes, I feel a lot better now.

Damn straight on all this!

It's a good book to use, because the language is one of the best things in it. And it's totally sparse at the same time, every word is necessary.
