2Q33

My favorite story, and it will sound cliche, is The Great Gatsby.  I read it personally before I read it in school.  Fitzgerald's prose captured my mind, and I was completely and utterly enthralled within the story.  I know everyone reads it in school but the book made me want to become a writer.  After looking into Fitzgerald more, I found Hemingway and Joyce, then Woolf and MacLeish, then Pound and Capote.  I read all of it, and enjoyed all of it immensely; but Gatsby will always have a special place in my heart because it made me want to write in the first place.
