The Backroom Book Review

Noah is currently reading and enjoying the Great Gatsby, the classic novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and tells me he feels a close connection with the title character, Jay Gatsby. Or at least as close a connection as someone living in North Denver with a wife, two kids, and a job at the DU Bookstore can feel to that mysterious millionaire playboy.  I hate to admit this, but I myself feel a close connection with Ebeneezer Scrooge.  As a matter of fact, three ghosts keep visiting me every Christmas Eve, but instead of changing my stingy spirit, I have always wound up breaking theirs.  Sad but true, old sport.
