I loved the book Great Gatsby so much.
It stems from my obsession with words.

IE

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.”

“Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known.”

“It was the kind of voice that the ear follows up and down, as if each speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again.”

“For a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.”

“He dispensed starlight to casual moths.” .

Just, gorgeous.
