The Great Gatsby

The last time I read this book was when I was 19 years old. I couldn't understand much about it. 36 years later, I read it again. Now it all made sense. I can identify with Gatsby and feel his anguish, hopes, fears and joy. Life is not about living a dream but making a dream come true and when that dream is fulfilled, you realised it is actually a nightmare. It's best to be pragmatic and lead a simple life, even if you're filthy rich.

Я смотрела конечно фильм, но буду читать чтоб , больше развивать англ)

Read twice, fully understood only years later
There is absolutely nothing romantic about the story
