I read it a long time ago and re-read it recently for a paper. Amazing, isn’t it? The power of words – how they can take you to a place in the past where you can get a glimpse of the people of that era, with all their faults, ambitions, hopes and loves. The story of Jay Gatsby unfolds through the eyes of Nick Carraway. Jay lives high from money made through dubious means. But who cares? Everyone makes it a point to attend the lavish parties he throws, but sadly enough, no one bothers to attend his funeral at the end. It is through situations such as this that Fitzgerald throws light upon the nuances of human nature. Shmoop gave me some clear insights into the hypocrisy, the shallowness, of the characters. It also explains the novel as a historical fiction. Good to see The Great Gatsby on your list. I read it a long time ago and re-read it recently for a paper. Amazing, isn’t it?

So many choices! I think this way I'll just go through them alphabetically. :-) I find that’s the hardest decision… what to read next!? So many choices!

Surprisingly, it wasn't on too many of the lists I found, so I added it as one of my own personal favorites. I hope you enjoy it to the end! Hey Em, I LOVED Birdsong.

I've always wanted to do this sort of thing, so appreciate the effort you put in...now for the reading part. I'm reading Birdsong at the moment. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it (and I see it is #18 on your list). It's beautiful (and the first part of the book is, um...quite risque...definitely attention grabbing!). xx Thanks for the list Zuri!
