"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy..."


"I have lots of books by John Phillips Marquand!"

Um... what does that have to do with anything?

"Well, you were talking about The Great Gatsby."

Ah... that would be F. Scott Fitzgerald.

    Classic! Having packed up her bookshelves, I can attest to the fact that she has lots of books by JPM. No sign of Gatsby, though...

    Worst movie of a great novel ever?

    Are those JPMs first editions? Are they worth anything?

    I'm not sure -- but I labeled the boxes. I think she could make a few thousand bucks on eBay or amazon, esp. the theology books.
