About This Quote
In the novel, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the character of Daisy Buchanan is described as having a room filled with books. In fact, she has more books than anything else in her house. In addition, she also has a library at her home that she loves to read from and a private library at her country estate where she can go alone and relax.
Daisy is described as being quite solitary and not really having a lot of friends or companionship. Now, it is perfectly fine to have books that you enjoy reading by yourself but if you have too many books and don’t actually use them or read them, there’s a problem with that!
