All Things Gatsby

Into the Valley of Celebrity Bookclubs rides Stephen Colbert--but with his own twist, of course....


After the obligatory furniture-leveling jokes, this sounds pretty cool: the discussion led by Jennifer Egan (author of A Visit from the Goon Squad) and an interview with director of the new movie, Baz Luhrmann, makes me think there might be a little more traction to the C-Oh-lbert Bookclub than fodder to aim at Oprah. (But, you know, that would be okay, too.)

Anywho, there are precious few days left before the Leonardo DiCaprio film releases on May 10 (yay!), but in the meantime, consider also the new Brilliance Audiobook release: The Great Gatsby, as read by Jake Gyllenhaal. (We don't have it at the library yet, so for now, you'll have to suffice with the preview below.)



Who knew alienation was so timeless?

Happy reading, listening, and watching!
