The Great Gatsby


Pregnant Praying Mantis welcomes you to Pregnant Praying Mantis Book Club. This week Pregnant Praying Mantis has read the Great Gatsby by Ella Fitzgerald. Pregnant Praying Mantis would like to first discuss the watching eyes of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg. Perhaps Pregnant Praying Mantis's eyes are event MORE watchful, but less symbolic. However, while Pregnant Praying Mantis's eye's are not watching over the ashes left behind by the disillusionment of the American Dream.... they are very much deeply engaging and very pretty. Look deeply into Praying Praying Mantis's and realize the disillusionment of YOUR American Dream. No Model T for you! Also, Pregnant Praying Mantis now wishes to become a bootlegger. Who wants to purchase delicious distilled grass, dirt and exo-skeleton of ex-lover liquor? Join Pregnant Praying Mantis next week, when we will read "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"

That's wonderful, I love the photo, too. I bet you did very well in English class (and uh, art class).
Are you actually going to read the sisterhood of the traveling pants? Am I the only one who thought that pretext was all very well and good for 3 people, but it didn't need to become a national preoccupation? probably.
Well, I will eagerly await what PPM has to say on the topic, I'm sure she'll sum it up nicely.

there are THREE articles on wikipedia devoted to that. One for the books, one for the movie and one for the first book.... And for sure, you entire 10 dollars went towards those articles. Anyway, i'm looking forward to what pregnant praying mantis has to say.
