'''A ''Times Educational Supplement'' Teachers' Top 100 Book'''
''No — Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men.''
If I could recommend just one classic book to readers young and old, in the hope they would fall in love with it, it would be this one every time. Highest possible recommendation to all.
Further reading suggestion: Despite the completely different subject matter, and their much longer length, I'd liken this to Carlos Ruiz Zafon's [[The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon|The Shadow of the Wind]] and Carsten Jensen's [[We, the Drowned by Carsten Jensen|We, The Drowned]] for the sheer beauty of the writing. You might also appreciate [[Careless People Murder Mayhem and the Invention of the Great Gatsby by Sarah Churchwell]] and [[Indiscretion by Charles Dubow]]. Appeared on [[The Most Valuable Signed Books Ever Sold]].
