The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald, New Edition
I saw the 2013 movie before reading the book. Glad I did it in that order, as I would have been disappointed by the movie. The book is rich in nuance, careful and really underplayed; the movie is opulent, excessive and gorgeous. Both great, in different ways.
The archetypal story appeals on every human level, the lessons and revelations are powerful.
I missed reading it in my school years, but its power now (at my advanced age) is exhilarating. Terrific. I see why it is required reading. Men, women, youngsters, some violence, some romance, lots of life lessons about single-mindedness, being blind to what is looming before you, the shortness of life and the rush we should all feel to make this the best life, the fullest life possible. Fabulous.
