The Great Gatsby

Nicole and I acquired a copy of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby from the Stillwater Public Library. Neither of us have read the book before and it comes in at a tidy 180 pages, helping to make it something we can both finish by the weekend. The only problem so far is that our copy has been doused in cheap high schooler cologne.
Nicole made the first attempt by reading it from an arms-length and by also holding her breath. She fell asleep at page 20, likely from a lack of oxygen. Perhaps tomorrow she can get a little further.

We started reading this book when I recently learned that a reclusive graffiti artist, undercover Hobo agent, and part-time English Teacher, Wade Laughlin, teaches this book to knowledge-starved masses in Shakopee. Hopefully he will send me the lesson plan for The Great Gatsby so that Nicole and I can then submit competing assignments to Mr. Laughlin. His grade will help finally determine the best adult high school student in the Johnson House.

And now......to the Great Gatsby Video Game to study!!!!!
