I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I was reading Nick Hornby's new novel, Julia, Naked. I liked it a lot, though perhaps not quite as much as his other books.
I followed that with a rereading of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, which I just finished this afternoon. It had been many years since I last read it, and I had been meaning to do so for a while. (It's one of my favorite classics of American literature, along with Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms.) It holds up well and is fun to read because Fitzgerald was such a stylist. But I think I still prefer Hemingway.
Now, on to Dan Chaon's Await Your Reply.
