I suppose they've jumped on the bandwagon because of the movie. Perhaps I was too young when I read it but to me it just seemed dull. <br />On a brighter note, I recently finished The Night Circus and I quite enjoyed it. Not what I was expecting but so beautifully written!<br />The Time travellers Wife was good but I much prefer Her Fearful Symmetry. Have you read that one?<br />Paris xUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749910576789691525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668302058291635718.post-42337079570740134872013-05-31T12:19:14.977+01:002013-05-31T12:19:14.977+01:00Yay for pushing people into reading Gatsby!! ;)

The great gatsby is my mums all time favourite book and I've enjoyed re-reading it. Ill have to look into your other recommendations.

Thanks for recommending it Terri Jane.<br /><br />If you haven't read it, Cat's Eye is one of Margaret Atwood's best books - I'd solidly recommend it. Remarkably, painfully accurate account of girl friendship, and simply beautiful prose - for example, this is one of my favourites - “Most mothers worry when their daughters reach adolescence but I was the opposite. I relaxed, I sighed with relief. Little girls are cute and small only to adults. To one another they are not cute. They are life sized.” <br /><br />Also a favourite - Gatsby, always and forever, it will be Daisy. x Nikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818311153396838633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668302058291635718.post-70263077652136365012013-05-30T22:39:41.534+01:002013-05-30T22:39:41.534+01:00I LOVE The Time Traveler's Wife!
