I was wondering why couldn't read this before. It was easy read, humourous and came as a total surprise and I loved it.The narrator, Nick Carraway, lives in a house across the street of the luxurious villa of Jay Gatsby. Nick is affected by Gatsby straight away, becuase he has got such a personality. Gatsby is living American dream, big house, luxurious life style and wild parties. Soon Nick starts a friendship with him and he is pulled into helping him to win back the love of an old flame who is married by now and who happnes to be his own cousin.Daisy Buchanan is a piece of art for sure, and so is Tom Buchanan. It surprised to read how much they were drunk on money and power and their scandalous nature of love and betrayal.It is one compelling and tragic story that will remain forever in my heart. I don't know if I should be sad for Mr. Gatsby or angry at his childish ass for believing in people, but I feel a tug at my heart knowing at the end that nothing matters. His wild parties or shady friendships or wealthy business nothing matters at the end.

Strongly recommend to every reader who wants to pick the next classic fiction.
โจ Have you read this epic piece of classic till now, or watched the movie based upon it's plot?๐ Luckily, don't know how but I didn't watch the movie so I read the novel straightway. I picked it couple of days ago and finished reading it joyfully but now I'm going to enjoy the movie. Onething, I want to make sure that if you compare the books from Movies (based on same plot), always Books go ahead on the way, coz of imagination (for readers), way of narration, detailed plot and many more.๐* Book Recommendation *~The Great Gatsby- By F. Scott Fitzgerald.๐"I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."~The great fiction writer of American history and epic classic novel of all time. The book is full pack of classic fiction, romance, and a bit of everything you want to have in a perfect book for smooth read. The story revolves around the protagonist, a graduate who served in the war from the west and worked as a novel's narrator, and a great mysterious character, Gatsby.๐"Angry, and half in love with her, and tremendously sorry, I turned away."~Strongly recommend to every reader who wants to pick the next classic fiction for great piece of literature and narration.

<i> "Life never gives us what we want at the moment that we consider appropriate. Adventures do occur, but not punctually.</i>"A Passage to India", which remains Forster's undoubted masterpiece, a modern classic that regularly ranks high in every poll of the 100 Best Novels on both sides of the Atlantic. It has a unique appeal for us in India for it is probably the best novel ever written about the country by an Englishman.Today, approaching 100 years after its composition, the novel is probably as "dated" as ever. Yet โ because Forster's concern is the forging of a relationship between a British schoolteacher and a Muslim doctor, reflecting the larger tragedy of imperialism โ A Passage to India stands as a strangely timeless achievement, one of the great novels of the 20th century.A Passage to India deals with the difficulties men face in their effort to understand each other and the world they live in. Edward Morgan Forster sees the British rule as a corrupt influence on both the rulers and the ruled. Forster's criticism of imperialism is based on ethical rather than political convictions in this novel. It captures all of the complexities of the modern era and casts a critical eye on the dynamics of political oppression and the very real toll that it takes. In this story of British-controlled India in the years just prior to its independence in 1947, Forster shows us the human face of oppression - the people, places, and relationships ravaged in the name of political power.It preserves for us human feelings and attitudes from that fraught period as only literature can.."God has put us on earth to love our neighbours and to show it, and He is omnipresent, even in India, to see how we are succeeding.""I'd far rather leave a thought behind me than a child. Other people can have children."
