The Great Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous story The Great Gatsby is widely regarded as one of the greatest English-language novels of the 20th century.

Reading it, I've learn that often the wanting of something is better than actually having it. Furthermore, one true friend is worth infinitely more than a multitude of acquaintances. There are the books you read, and then there are the books that change your life, and this book changed mine.

The book was adapted into screen first time in 1926, but the most famous version, starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow, was made in 1974. The movie won 2 Oscars. I loved it because it's a faithful adaptation for this great book.
