Because there's a movie of The Great Gatsby coming out in a few weeks, I dug out my copy of the book to re-read it. I'm the type of person who likes to read the book before seeing the movie. I haven't read The Great Gatsby since my junior year of high school - four years ago. I started re-reading it a few years ago, but I evidently stopped before reaching chapter seven.
I got my copy of The Great Gatsby from my grandpa's basement about five years ago. Apparently, a lot of the books he had down there were bought at garage sales.
There are hand-written notes (in pen!) in some parts of the book. I think they were there pre-garage sale, as none of the hand-writing looks familiar to me. (Though I'm not that familiar with any of my extended relatives' handwriting, so I could be mistaken.)
But the most interesting thing is the computer punch-card that was in the back of the book. Because it's so associated with the book for me, I don't want to take it out, so I use it as a bookmark.
The reverse side contains a reminder to call either Steve Liedenbach or Steve Wiedenbach. Presumably, it's Steve Wiedenbach because the W is written with pen over the completely pencil Steve Liedenbach.
