Reflections on Readings #2 – The Great Gatsby

Once upon a time, reading used to get priority over everything else in my life. I remember taking a book to most places I visited as a child. The times have changed. Reading quite does not fall into the category of first priority these days. It is something for which I have to make time over all the other pressing priorities in a day. And sometimes, when I travel for business, I make use of that time to devour a book which will more or last the duration of my journey. The point is, reading is out of compulsion now, a necessity without which I might even stop living. Yet, it is not the natural choice of activity in a day.
