i've decided to find myself a copy of this book and read it again. i read it only once in HS, for a class, and didn't like it very much. i'm thinking now that it was either because i didn't really understand it or we had to over-analyze it for that class. plus i love many style things from the 20s.
Funny - I read it in HS and loved it, and upon re-reading it (perhaps with a slightly more jaded view of the world), still loved it for the imagery and the time period, but had a totally different perspective on Jay Gatsby... one that I couldn't have as a naive 16-year-old. Anyway, I'll take a look and see if I can find a copy!
