Scott Fitzgerald’s critique on mindless extravagance and tribute to forbidden love set amongst the ultra-rich neighborhoods of the Gold Coast. Unlike most of the over-analyzed dreck that I was assigned, I loved “Gatsby.” It was beautiful and subtle in ways that most books could only dream of and I reread it immediately after upon finishing.
