Idle Book Club Episode 5: The Great Gatsby

Recommended Posts

I had a couple of very long drives recently so I decided to listen to an audio book. Specifically, I chose THIS book as an audiobook, as read by Mr. Jake Gyllenhaal. (More specifically still, I finally cashed in my audiblepodcast.com/wizard credit to do so. Thanks, guys!)

 

I have only a minor thing to add to the discussion of this episode - when talking about Gatsby's funeral, you guys remarked a couple of times about how the "owl eyes" man called Gatsby a "son of a bitch". However, Mr. Gyllenhaal read it aloud in such a way as to say "sonofabitch" in a friendly, drinking buddy sort of way. It definitely changed the interpretation of that part of the scene, which I found pretty interesting.
