The GREAT GATSBY: Murder of the American Dream

Enjoy <3 This is one of my favorite books and I don't think people generally recognize the rather apocalyptic tone of the work as a whole.

Speaking of the American Dream, I've been looking for an insightful analysis of Hunter Thompson's Fear and Loathing, especially the American Dream aspect of it. I think you'd do it justice.

Last year I had the wonderful pleasure of reading The Great Gatsby on a weekend business trip, and then watching the movie on the plane ride home.
