I’m really not sure how today’s Mondayitis is likely to go as I’m interviewing the Library from The Great Gatsby, I’m sure the books could have a great deal to say if I can only get them to talk. Here goes…

What do you read?

What do we read? What a terribly strange question you ask. There are so many of us residing in this library and it is very obvious that we must be reading each other. Rather, we would very much like to read each other but Mr Gatsby hasn’t seen fit to cut the pages. He made certain to buy real books, not cardboard or anything cheap but then did not cut the pages.

We do sometimes read to each other to help alleviate the boredom of sitting on the shelf all day. We trust Mr Gatsby will cut our pages one day, it will all depend on if he lives after his little dip in the pool. There was another man nearby, we think he had a gun and we all know what a gun can do.

No, we don’t feel like answering any more strange questions. Goodbye.

Thank you to the Library from The Great Gatsby, I pay great respect to F. Scott Fitzgerald for bringing us this wonderful work.
