The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald

I'm still processing this book and its themes.  I keep having images of Robert Redford's face -- a flashback from my childhood -- and it bothers me how incongruent his image is based on my impressions from the book. What a cast of characters -- so many unlikeable people.  I know it's a commentary about the "American dream" but the beliefs of the very priviledged were also examined. I may just have to re-read it one more time...  A perfect book for summer vacation.
