Hey, I'm David Kern.

I'm Heidi White.

And I'm Sean Johnson.

And you are listening to Close Reeds, a podcast for the Incurable Reader on which we are discussing once again.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.

We are discussing in particular the final third of the book, Chapter 7, 8, 9.

We'll discuss these three chapters, discuss the whole book, and then next week we will answer your questions on the Great Gatsby.

Put a book. It's been really interesting because we're reading it, of course, crammed into, like, essentially a week.

We're doing all these episodes because of the close reads

events that's in England next week so we're just trying to get ahead a little bit so if there's

a book to do it with it to this one because it's it's not very long but also it's there's so much

going on so doing it doing it with making sure it's all fresh has been very interesting very

enjoyable i would say

Sean how are you how are your uh preparations for the trip coming i'm nervous to say it but i think

more or less short of the final packing i think i'm i think they're complete i uh wow i got
