The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald

My choice for Book Club this year, suggested in time for the Baz Luhrmann movie to come out later this year.

An American classic that I'd never read before. Read on the kindle for 70p, it's now down to 49p.

Despite being published in 1925, the themes are remarkably current, social climbing, the gap between the have and have nots, marriage and infidelity.

It's shorter than I thought it would be and more melancholy.
