Reading fun!

I finished The Great Gatsby last night! It was possibly one of the best reads I have had since The Perks Of Being a Wallflower. And the Perks is possibly in my top 5 book chart that I have composed inside my head.
I don't want to give the story away.
But I think I was the only person who didn't see it ending that way!? I was messaging Christina a bit like. ":-O! He......"
Her reply was.... "I thought everyone would guess that."
I'm disappointed with myself for not coming to that conclusion earlier in the book. I literally thought it was a typical story of the 1920's with the typical love triangle. Which I did get and for me to say it is a good read, considering I'm a fuss-pot to love triangles and other general romance story. But the way it was written just makes you not feel the romance, but makes you concentrate on the realistics quotes that Fitzgerald had written.
My all time favourite quote that was written in the story was by said by the character Daisy, when she just gave birth to a daughter:

"I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool- that's best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."

Also the last sentence written in the book.

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

That quote gives me strength and courage to carry on, whenever I feel stressed.
I wished I read it sooner, as I had a moment earlier on yesterday evening, where I was meant to be meeting a new friends and completely panicked and ran away. That'll be a new thing I need to work on from now on. I want to socialise!
