Charlie Hoey created a playable version of The Great Gatsby with 8-bit, Nintendo like graphics for all your nostalgia needs.
The closing lines of The Great Gatsby handwritten by F. Scott Fitzgerald under a portrait of him drawn by Robert Kastor.
Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter — tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther…. And one fine morning —
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Anonymous asked: I read something on your blog about how we read to find ourselves or read to see how much we share with others . . . I really liked it but now I can't find it. In fact, I think there are two entries that say something like that. I really love your blog!
Thank you! :) And that sounds very familiar… off the top of my head I can offer some F.Scott Fitzgerald:
“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.” x
