Be sure to check out the L.A. Times great little “Literary Oscar Quiz” to get you primed for this year’s Oscars.  It’s always fun to read the book, then see the movie and it makes a great book group outing.

If you like the book/movie combo, you’ll and to (re)read one of my favorite books, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, now because the movie with Leonardo Di Caprio is coming out in May.  Will it be as good as the book?  How will it compare to the Robert Redford version? This Boz Luhrmann version certainly seems to have a harsher edge than the earlier movie. Check out the trailer.
