The Great Gatsby par F. Scott Fitzgerald.
If toi saw the movie, believe me toi need to read it for a real experience.
If toi haven't read it, make sure toi do before your time comes. If toi have, then toi know why I think it's the single greatest novel I've ever read. The symbolism and the colorful description Fitzgerald employs are like the writings of God..no joke.
For example:
"The wind had blown off, leaving a loud, bright night, with wings beating in the trees and a persistent organ sound as the full bellows of the earth blew the frogs full of life." (pg 20)
"The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun, and now the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail music, and the opera of voices pitches a key higher. Laughter is easier minute par minute, spilled with prodigality, tipped out at a cheerful word. The groups change plus swiftly, swell with new arrivals, dissolve and form in the same breath; already there were wanderers, confident girls who weave here and there among the stouter and plus stable, become for a sharp, joyous moment the center of a group, and then, excited with triumph, glide on through the sea-change of faces and voices and color under the constantly changing light. (pg. 21)
That's just the small taste, toi guys really got to read this. And if you're a raging romantic like me, this is definitely a novel for you. It's an oddly tragic spin on a lifestyle that seems to be anything but tragic, beautifully written and always good every time toi read it.
If toi don't like really frothy romantic stuff, though, toi can still enjoy the excellent écriture and the interesting plot dynamic. :)
Btw, I suffer from a raging crush on Carey Mulligan after seeing the film XD....
;) Read it!

as if toi gave me a choice
everything about toi i loved
all other feelings aside i shoved
on your every word i hung
and even among
a crowd, only toi i see
nowhere else i would rather be
these feelings for you, that are kept inside
i can no longer hide
everything about toi i admire
toi are all i desire
so kind, so sweet, so passionate
everytime our eyes met
my cœur, coeur would race
while looking at your smiling face
full of buety, life, and joy
with my emotions toi play like a toy
like a wild beast, my emotions cannot be tame
and i don't even know your name
Life's like a rollercoaster,
Don't waste the ride.
Live it up all the way,
because today's your last day
What would toi do?
Would toi cry a little, scream a little, think it's all pretend.
ou go into silence until the very end...
Would toi l’amour the ones toi hate the most ou be the person toi hide?
Would toi pretend that you're ok but really scream inside?
Would toi try and keep the sun from setting as your last jour ends?
Knowing you'll never see it rise...
Tomorrow I'll be somewhere else toi say as toi close your eyes.
what can I do?
I'm self-centered, self-induldged, self-absorbed, hateful, short-tepered, implusive, in a complete state of denial, confused and lonely, yet I don't try to think.
a creature of the night
a princess of darkness
I long for light
colors
but all is midnight
and my only companions are the moon and the darkness
thought it comforts me when no one can
I wish to be out of darkness for once
to be clear, understood, unquestioned, and loved.
but who am I to ask for this?
who am I to want this?
is that what makes me human?
why?
all I want to know is why?
