Anyhow, I'm reading The Great Gatsby for book club and I don't think I'm gonna make it very far since book club is in fifteen minutes and I'm not even halfway done but I had to share this great line:
They moved with a fast crowd, all of them young and rich and wild, but she [Daisy] came out with an absolutely perfect reputation. Perhaps because she doesn't drink. It's a great advantage not to drink among hard drinking people. You can hold your tongue and, moreover, you can time any little irregularity of your own so that everybody else is so blind that they don't see or care.
Brilliant, no? And that was in 1922!
Happy Sober Friday, all!
Love it! Good look with the major skimming of the book!
