The book "The Great Gatsby" was discussed on January 15th, 2011 at Fat Man's.
10 people were present at the meeting. A hearty discussion was had about the book. I was surprised at how much of a discussion it did bring. I was proud of the fact that it did bring up some good points. Such as:
-Why is it a classic?
-Why do they teach it in school?
-What are the elements that make it a great book?
It seemed a consensus that it was a well recieved piece of literature. It was a snapshot of that time, the roaring twenties. It's a stamp on our lives for that time.
Give it a try, and you'll be "Roaring" your way down the literature cannon.
What's up next?
