The Great Gatsby

“Hunter S. Thompson rewrote every single word of The Great Gatsby so I could feel what it was like to write a great novel.”

“the epigraph of the book and of course the title is taken from uh F Scott Fitzgerald's book The Great Gatsby”

“I've become one of those old men who's angry at the kids for not having read the same things I read when I was in high school. I'm sorry, like The Great Gatsby.”

“Uh, we love East Fork; I read a book.”

“It's the same with writing; if you read a book that you really love, the next day you turn your computer on and you'll be writing in a slight variation of that style. Didn't he write The Great Gatsby over and over again just to get a sense of the rhythm of the words while learning how to write?”

“I'm sure I've read that about Hunter Thompson; I believe he definitely typed out The Great Gatsby and Farewell to Arms word for word as a method for learning how to write like the masters.”

“Thank you. We love East Fork; I read a book!”

“Wrote Great.... Love, love her in Great Gatsby! She rode herself into Great Gat actually!”

“If we're just quoting literature back and forth, there's a scene in The Great Gatsby where Gatsby goes to Nick and says, hey, I'm working on this thing, maybe you could do me a favor, and I think there's a little bit of money in it for you.”

“In the end of the book, which I read and liked, you mention that your 97-year-old grandmother said that she was sticking around so she could see your book.”

“No, every time I saw her, she basically threatened to die before the book came out, knowing that that would make me feel awful because if she's like, 'All I want is for this book to be done' and she was like, 'I just want to hold this book.'”

“In the book, you talk about how Americans seem to think we're in a Disney movie, with a lot of black and white and binary thinking.”

“Yeah to Manhattan, but what I like about the book, I'll help you plug it, here is that it skewers both the liberal left social justice side of things and the conservative ideology.”

“what is your favorite Blog podcast or book of all time my favorite book of all time is The Great Gatsby”

“I like that image of the green light across the water in The Great Gatsby”

“You have a letter where your son writes to you, and he mentions, 'Remember little Pammy in The Great Gatsby? Neither did her mother, Daisy Buchanan.'”
