The Great Gatsby

wonderful book
FANTASTIC book.
ORGASMIC book
It has such a deep personal meaning with me, it feels like some one wrote my life with a few changes, does anyone know what I mean?
Like it feels like nothing else you know, like everything you feel can be put in one book and it can embody all the emotion you experience and feel?


It takes a building in a manner of which out forefathers were very used to... That feeling... cosmic energy... where everybody goes YEEEAAHHHHH BASH!!!

Not quite - I'm being quasi-serious here. I don't mean events - I just think the feelings conveyed through the relationships in the book sortof echo within me. damn. now i sound emo. it's whatever.
