Gatsby

 I read F Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby in high school as a class requirement. I must say, being tested on what I read or expected to write a review does not seem to increase my appreciation for a book. In fact, rather the reverse is true. More than a decade after high school, I reread most of the books I’d loathed in my teens. I found most of them have improved with time. Broadbent’s Quilt Shop in Lehi chose The Great Gatsby for their novel and their block. Somehow it suits them. The moment you walk into the store, you feel as if  you’ve stepped into another era. It’s no wonder, because Broadbent’s has been on this very spot since 1882. It didn’t hurt that they played Scott Joplin music the entire time I was in the shop.
