Classic literature and I don't always get along (i.e. Jane Austen), however, I am happy to announce that I read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and actually enjoyed it. On another high note, it also only took me days to read. (This post is a little late since I actually finished the book Friday evening). I found the book to be nicely paced and not overly long. Somtimes I feel authors write a little too much. (Suzanne Collins, I'm talking to you. Mockingjay didn't need to be that long). While the book in no way has a happy ending, I didn't feel let down as is sometimes the case with a tragic ending. Every character was flawed, but could not see past their own gratification and self-preservation. Perhaps Nick was a little more concerned with others than the rest, but he too had his flaws.
My husband finally finished reading The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan, so I am now reading that. I think he finally finished it because the next Rick Riordan book comes out this week. My husband always gets to read new Rick Riordan books first, per his request. I wish it were the other way around because I finish books a lot faster than he does. However, I let him have it because there's not too many books he actually enjoys reading.
