This started out as my blog about all things random: condiments, Gilmore Girls, books, and dreams. It's still pretty random. I still love ketchup and still dream of living in Stars Hollow, but now I mostly write about books, my sweetheart, and our son. Can you blame me? I'm an English teacher that fell in love and became a stay-at-home mom. Happy reading and welcome to the chaos!

The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Plain and simple, I am obsessed with The Great Gatsby. I would read it each year even if I wasn’t teaching it to my juniors. I love the tragedy, the elusive dreams, and the raw reality that Fitzgerald so deftly created.
And I cannot wait for Baz Luhrmann’s new film version. Some people count down to Christmas. I count down to Gatsby.

I am so excited for this. The casting IS perfect and the most exciting thing to me is that Baz is directing!!! That means it will be emotional and beautiful in the best way.
Can't wait for this!!
I LOVE Carey Mulligan! LOVE. Love the book. Can't wait for the movie. I echo everything you said.
