Just Finished Reading The Great Gatsby

I think I'll just curl up in a corner and cry. What a gorgeous, lavish, heartbreaking book. It'll take a few days just to soak everything up, short book thought it is.

Thanks! Makes sense that it's not easy to slough through. Fitzgerald's descriptive skills make me despair of ever writing well, but you have to really concentrate when there's no immediate character interaction. I read it to prep for the movie, too--IT LOOKS SO AMAZING. And I'm so excited Carey Mulligan is in it. Ironically, from the book's description, I thought of Vivien Leigh when I thought of Daisy.

BTW, I swear I'm not ignoring your Dcotor Who posts--I just am really far behind, and have to avoid spoilers. :)

Oh, no worries--I figured you weren't caught up on 7 yet. I know how that goes. :)

I don't even remember how Daisy's described, but I'm going to picture her as Carey Mulligan now. Obviously. The movie looks amazing.

Yup--definitely worth going to see in the theaters, I think. The costumes look positively lethal. :)
