THE GREAT GATSBY IS MY TAKE!

The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional towns of West Egg and East Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922.

I read "The Alchemist" recently, very intriguing to say the least!

I will check out

Punishment - F Dostoevsky, The Pursuit of Justice - A S Manraj.

The Pursuit of Justice was by a Guyanese lawyer, quite rivetting with humor also.

The Great Gatsby..... if it is anywhere near as boring as the movie by the same name I will renew my determination not to go anywhere near it.

I am reading – THE MARCUS DYNASTY – by Sterling Seagrave – The incredible inside story behind the corruption of Imelda and Ferdinand Marcus -----
There is a lot of Trump behavior there ---- just lying –make shit up – unethical, murderous behaviors

Am also reading – MY VIEW OF THE WORLD – By Edwin Schrodinger – not the easiest read - more a Metaphysics view of the world --- but its one of my indulgencies
