Hamden Public Library is using The Great Gatsby as a springboard for online discussion this summer. We will begin with topics fostered by the actual text of the book, but feel free to roam further afield: the author's life, his other novels, the short stories, the movies. Although some discussion questions will be posted, you're welcome to start your own threads on the pages you find here. Visit often.

Gatsby at Cornell
For those of you who are new to reading Gatsby or if you'd like some guidance in re-reading the book, Cornell University has a site for you. In 2006 the university chose The Great Gatsby as the book for their annual New Student Reading Project. Their site not only helps you explore the book, but provides expanded information on Fitzgerald, the Jazz Age and more as well as study questions and panel discussions. For anyone still wondering why this book continues to receive so much attention and high praise, check out Cornell's explanation for why this book was chosen for their reading project.
