The Book Club is once again upon us. This time Nate welcomes Dr. Peter Becker who has received his Ph.D. from Harvard's American Studies Program (History of American Civilization) and holds degrees from Harvard (M.A., English) and Hamburg University (History, Latin, Education) to give a little background on F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. Then, Engineer Sam Kieffer joins Nate in the studio to get real deep into this great American novel. Make sure to get a head start for the next book club by grabbing A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway and send in your thoughts on the book at [email protected].
