Reading: F. Scott Fitzgerald "The Great Gatsby" (1925)

It was favorite book of Watanabe-kun, hero of "Norwegian Wood" novel by Haruki Murakami, so I decided to read....
Very sad story about pure heart of a man and it`s dissonance with surrounding world...It`s story about ambitious to be on the top of life, which however finally end up in loneliness - how it is lonely to be not as everyone around.
Discovering wonderful American classic literature is my goal for this year

**I read this novel every day in train on my way to the company and back, and from the first page realised that I need pencil to check words - in all junk we hear every day it gives you true "therapy" to read such book , such beautiful language of the author.
