Hello, me dear readers!

The Great Gatsby is a very fantastical novel! I want to continue reading again and again. Its plot is easy to understand.
The main characters of this novel are:
1)Nick Carraway – a Yale graduate originating from the Midwest, a World War I veteran, and, at the start of the plot, a newly arrived resident of West Egg, who is aged 29 (later 30). He also serves as the first-person narrator of the novel. He is Gatsby's next-door neighbor and a bond salesman.
2)Jay Gatsby – a young, mysterious millionaire with shady business connections, originally from North Dakota.
3)
Daisy Fay Buchanan – an attractive and effervescent and self-absorbed young lady. She is Nick's second cousin, and the wife of Tom Buchanan.
4)
Thomas Buchanan – a millionaire who lives on East Egg, and Daisy's husband.
5)
Jordan Baker – Daisy Buchanan's long-time friend. She is 
Athlete-golfer.

About my choice


Hello, my dear readers!
I`m going to read a very fabulous and interesting book.
This book is "The Great Gatsby" by  Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald.
I don't have any preference for certain gengres and I decided to read this book after
watching the movie(this story has film adaptation).I loved this wonderful film, but I
 was assured that the book is more interesting and had some differences with the film.
I hope I'll find something new by reading this book.


Now I want to tell some information about this book.
"The Great Gatsby" is a novel written by American author F.Scott Fitzgerald.
Work on the Great Gatsby began in April 1924.This novel was not known during the
author's lifetime. Less than 24,000 copies were sold of the book and only in the  
1950s the novel gained popularity.




I expect you to read my blog with enjoy=)
