The Great Gatsby - full audiobook with rolling text - by F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, the novel depicts narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby, and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan.
The novel was inspired by a youthful romance Fitzgerald had with a socialite, and by parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922. Following a move to the French Riviera, he completed a rough draft in 1924. After submitting to editor Maxwell Perkins, Fitzgerald was persuaded by Perkins to revise the work over the following winter. Fitzgerald was ambivalent about the book's title and considered a variety of alternatives. The final title that he was documented to have desired was Under the Red, White, and Blue.
After its publication by Scribner's in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received mixed reviews from literary critics and sold poorly. Fitzgerald died in 1940, believing himself to be a failure and his work forgotten. During World War II, the novel faced a critical re-examination and soon became a core part of most American high school curricula. Numerous stage and film adaptations followed in the subsequent decades.
Modern scholars emphasise the novel's treatment of social class, inherited wealth compared to those who are self-made, race, environmentalism, and its cynical attitude towards the American dream. As with other works by Fitzgerald, criticisms include allegations of antisemitism. The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel. Wikipedia.org, creativecommons.org/licenses/...

ADHD really sucks when you're trying to get your mind to focus but then you're too busy trying to focus you forget to focus. Yeah 😔

[@abbyh3822]

My teacher gave me an F because i couldnt read this damn book. Then i made him read it, then he decided to pass me lol. ADHD sucks

[@slimeball4l540]

same thing wit me lol i'm reading the text and in my mind I'm like "I need to focus hard" then I realize that I'm not focusing on what I'm reading in the moment

[@Someone-ij6ob]

@Rachellis yeah tbh with the heavy use of figurative language, The Great Gatsby is hard to follow. I don't have ADHD, and none of my friends do (as far as I'm aware), but they also find the book hard to follow. I can understand what's going on during the chapters, but the heavy figurative language is not what most people are used to today, and reading the book doesn't make you wanna progress further. However, what happens is really interesting (I read sparknote chapter summaries lol).

[@acecombat02]

yes that is so true I have ADHD and I have trouble starting on my assignment. And the only way for me to get you some decent marks is to work with a tutor I’m ngl but I feel like ADHD makes me a dumbass however in reality it really isn’t I do remember once someone told me people grow out of ADHD. I’m not sure if that’s true because that person never showed me any evidence

[@LucienRoss]

@@acecombat02 we don't grow out of it, we just grow up. Once you're older you can make more of your own choices, choose the environments you want to live in and the people you want to be around. I'm a very adhd adult and I'm reading this for an art project I'm doing just for the fun of it with friends. I know that if I was being made to read this it'd be overwhelming and stressful, but once you get more autonomy and choices in your life you can start to set your own rules and expectations and somethings about adhd will get easier.

After each chapter, i would recommend watching the video from "Course Hero". He has a video/episode for each of the chapters with animations that help, especially if you don't understand what's happening or you can't focus well like myself. Unlike the crash courses, they are all under 5 minutes and have a good detailed analysis in a short time especially when trying to revise or re-read the book. :)

[@rachellis0]

It's like I'm hearing the words but they're not making sense lol

[@arcadian3090]

I think it's the writing style. It was in either chapter 3 or 4 where Nick just literally needlessly lists 2 paragraphs of people that attended Gatsby's parties in odd detail as if I'm supposed to remember everyone on top of numerous other characters I'm supposed to remember as well. I like the story, but I find the Author structures his story is so needlessly confusing to read, even coming from someone who is a confident reader, I found it as so, when the story isn't even that complex. The author gives a difficult time listing characters that are key characters and does a poor job explaining their associations with other characters imo, possibly more so the rate he delivers characters, it's just a barrage all at once it seems.

I've last read this book about 10 years ago . Hearing it now after reading hundreds of books it seems less brilliant then it was. Perhaps I'm comparing it too much with the parties of monte cristo, game of thrones, & moralities of dostoyevsky. Also now I'm completely annoyed of gatsby and him saying "old sport". No where near as gracious and genius as I thought . Wonder why 😅
