Oops. Missed that one. I can assure you, I’ve read “Gatsby” at least four or five times, along with everything else Fitzgerald wrote, including “The Last Tycoon.” For a time in college, Fitzgerald was my favorite 20th-century writer.He still rates high on my list.

I watched a documentary on Hunter S Thompson. It was stated that he copied/wrote The a Great Gatsby word for word several times so he could learn how Fitzgerald thought and used vocabulary.
