The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald, 1925

The Great American novel, first neglected and then re-discovered in the ‘50’s has memorable characters (Nick Carraway, Jay Gatz (Gatsby) who now unfortunately look like Leonardo de Caprio and Toby Maguire in my mind, Daisy and Tom Buchanan, , Jordan Baker, Myrtle Wilson) and a classic plot of American greed, power, status, money and society between the World Wars.
