I know that today, if you do not know English, you're not going anywhere. In my work is absolutely necessary because most of the technical information of interest is written in English. Also in my free time is important because since I am a geek of the series I'd rather see them in their original language (with subtitles, of course) to listen to monotone using benders. No comparison.
read a lot in English for pleasure. Most of my favorite blogs knitting and crafts are written in that language and all I weave patterns as well. Occasionally I like to read a novel untranslated, and although I will not say that I find perfectly all, enjoy a different wayent. I used to learn a lot and ended with the book full marks for going to investigate unfamiliar words and phrases.
The Great Gatsby had it on my shelf since time immemorial. It's one of those editions of Penguin Books, cheaper than shopping at book fairs when you do not know what to buy. I had forgotten that was out there and the last reorganization of the shelf appeared.
took me a little at first get involved with the story. Not being accustomed to reading literature in English did not help much. But gradually became more easy and the end was hooked, wanting to know what happens to Gatsby, Daisy and Nick.
The book talks about the life of high society during the New Yorker
