When someone asks me what books I have read lately, I am quick to say that, "I don't like to read." However, I don't not like to read for the reasons that seem to be apparent. In fact, I love to read. I don't like to read because I love it so much. When I start a book, I can't put it down. This fact means that I have to keep reading until I finish the book, which, in turn, means I can't do anything else in my daily schedule until I am finished reading. I have tried to start reading right before I go to bed so that it doesn't take up my whole day, however, this attempt fails as well because then I just don't go to bed until four in the morning because I am up reading. Lately, I've read a few books that have this effect on me; I loved them. I not only couldn't put them down, but they also left lasting impressions on me in many different ways. The books are The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Things They Carried by Tim O"Brien and Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. I happened to read all three of these books in the last few months, and all of them shocked me with their depth, meaning and significance to my life personally. .
I read The Great Gatsby first in probably around eighth grade. Then, I enjoyed it, thought it was a nice, easy reading book. However, last year in my Honors English class we read the book again. This second adventure into the world of Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby made me realize and understand so much more than I had gotten out of the book upon initial reading. The idea of the "American Dream" and the roles of society in all the character's lives left a tremendous impact on me. Every single idea in the book played a much bigger role than I could have ever understood the first time I read it. Nick's observations of his neighbor and especially his distanced involvement in his love life and ways of the upper class left me astounded. After reading The Great Gatsby, I realized the role of an observational narrator is so common, which I had never really given thought to before.
