I read this book for my junior year of high school's English class. And just recently, in my last semester of college, I read it again for my English Composition II class.
And in that 5 year span, The Great Gatsby still spoke to me. It spoke to me when I was 16, and it still speaks to me at age 20. This theme of the american dream that Fitzgerald writes about is timeless, except his story is corrupt and evil. These characters are searching for something that doesn't really exists, and abandoning all morals along the way.
It's sad, but true.
