Am I missing something "deep" in "The Great Gatsby"?
If so, I would like to be notified. Considering that I went out and bought the book under the assumption that it was some great piece of literature, when I brought it home and found out that it read like a Level 3 Reading Rainbow story I was slightly dissappointed.
Now I am sure that it is quite possible that I am missing something in it. I'm probably going to get some comment from someone explaining to me why I am a complete idiot, and then they will lay out every part of the book that had a "deeper meaning". Quite frankly though, I'm currently finding the book to be a better coaster for my tea.
On a completely different topic, I am finding my giant novelty martini glass to not be giant enough to drown sorrows in. Therefore, I have created some sketches of a "Martini Fountain" made up of three martini glasses and a crazy straw.

I've never read the book, but from the brief descriptions I've read, it's about shattered American Dreams in the 1920s and the hollowness of the upper class.
I've also seen the book-a-minute summary:
//
Gatsby: Daisy, I made all this money for you, because I love you.
Daisy: I cannot reciprocate, because I represent the American Dream.
Gatsby: Now I must die, because I also represent the American Dream.
(Gatsby DIES.)
Nick: I hate New Yorkers.
THE END

Now as for your triple martini glass idea, I want to be there when this contraption is conceived. It is brilliant.
