A few weeks back during one of our chats, K asked what our favorite classics were (however you define that). We didn't get terribly far into the conversation before K was horrified -- horrified! -- to learn that I had never read The Great Gatsby. K and I had another related conversation a week later about trying to find a "summer" classic. The Great Gatsby, said she.After finishing Truman and reading a book about a melancholy lady, I thought I needed something light and easy before delving into a deep, academic endeavor. Mom had some suggestions, but none of them were books that I own, and I'm trying to get through some of what's already on my bookshelves. She has read Shopgirl, and agreed that it would be good for the task of being a light interlude between more serious endeavors.
Plus, I love a good laugh.
