“So we beat on…”
You know the rest –
And if you do, it is safe to say that some of your greatest adventures come from within the pages of a yellowed book. When you live and breathe literature, it is bound to happen… you find that the books you read become a part of you. Once you discover this, you find yourself celebrating just how much you love the books you will never forget.
You hang the book’s best quotes in your living room.
You quote characters in every day conversation even when no one else has read the book…
And you even compare people in your life to the people between the pages.
If you have fallen in love with The Great Gatsby like millions of others, here are 3 wonderful ways to celebrate the book that changed your life forever.
Go to a Gatsby Show and Live the Magic. You Won’t Regret It.
Why stay home and dream about being in the book when you can get out and live the book instead. The Gatsby Show is like a story in music, complete with era authentic dress and old world songs made for dancing. Come dressed in a period appropriate ensemble to look and feel like you belong in the story… or just come as you already are. You will have a great time either way.
Throw a Gatsby Style Party. It Never Killed Nobody.
Bring the champagne and get ready to mingle with stars. Pair black and gold balloons with jazz music, good wine and good friends… and you have a recipe for a party unlike any other. You can even use cardstock print outs of book pages to create place cards. Use a metallic pen to scribble your guests’ names on the cards.
Create a Great Gatsby Themed Reading Room.
Your home is your haven and the perfect place to let your personality shine through. Create a Gatsby themed reading room where you can escape to and devour as many books as you can read. Bring in colorful old typewriters and glass accents. Small chandeliers look pretty in entryways. Metallic accents and velvet textiles bring everything together in a way that is synonymous with the time period.
Classics are books that never run out of things to say. The Great Gatsby is a story that will live on forever. Celebrate your love of literature every day by finding new ways to integrate the words into your life. When you do, you can, in a way, live the book to life.
