Good book—and I understand this book left a deep mark for a different generation. But I’m not sure it’s a book for me. I feel like this is a tale of caution, and while part of me says, “duh!”—I can’t help but relate to Gatsby and his toxic obsessions. So I guess that’s my biggest takeaway.

We share the INTJ personality type, and I wanted to be let into his brain a little more to figure out what we share.

Now, onto watching the movie to dive into his brain just a bit more.

Joa 
Is ok

Die story hat für mich eher geplätschert und ich fand die metaphern und wie dinge und begebenheiten personifiziert werden wirklich meisterhaft, allerdings gab es ein paar stellen, wo ich mich etwas gelangweilt habe. Ich glaube einfach, dass es nicht unbedingt meins ist. Daisy ging mir auch mega auf die nerven und die Hauptfigur ist distanziert und irgendwie eigenartig.

I was reading this for school but it was on my list wayyy before then and I’m so happy I read and enjoyed it. It’s a little bit more difficult to read because it’s a classic obviously but I loved the book and the message behind it. When I read chapter 8 I got chills at the end when I found out what happened to Gatsby. He didn’t deserve that. Justice for Gatsby.
