You are Nick, new to the neighbourhood and calling on your cousin, Daisy Buchanan, who insists she's "paralysed with happiness" in her marriage to wealthy, powerful Tom. But there's a reason for his lavish party, and his choice in neighbours. Gatsby is Jay Gatsby, a man who has spent years clawing his way to the top of society, intent on making a fortune. So I was surprised when I discovered that The Great Gatsby makes the transition from classic literature to a point-and-click/ hidden-object hybrid with the grace and charm of a dazzling young socialite. As a result, I tend to regard any sort of electronic representation of literature with the sort of vaguely befuddled, vaguely irritable suspicion of an old lady yelling at the neighbourhood kids. Keep your Kindles and your Nooks, and deliver unto me the soft sound of pages turning in a quiet afternoon, and the weight of a sturdy cover and binding in my hands. Although I consider myself a modern sort of gal, I am vehemently opposed to any sort of "eBook".
