Book No. 8 of 2025

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald (3/27/25) I had not read this book since high school, more than 30 years ago, and recently realized that I really remembered nothing about it beyond Robert Redford's gleaming, slicked-back hair and the Jazz Age vibe. For various reasons, I decided to explore again. I'm not sure what I could have taken from this book when I was 16 -- at that point in my life, concepts like "regret" and "love affairs" were as real to me as dragons and starships. But it was a pleasure to read the week before I turn 52, and also more meaningful. And it still has the Jazz Age vibe.
