The Great Gatsby: The First Two Chapters

Considered a classic of American literature, I finally decided to pick up the book myself. I've been looking for this book everywhere! Since I'm a cheep person, I didn't want to to buy The Great Gatsby for my Kindle and if my dad had the book I would have just borrowed it from him. But since he didn't have it and no one I knew had it, I went to the library. Unfortunately they did not have it at the library, but after a month or two it was available at the library. So it's been a day and I'm on chapter two.
I was surprised that it isn't a long book, but only 154 pages in the copy I have. This would probably be the first book I've read from the 'Jazz Age'. I just never had the chance to read many writers from the Lost Generation. And from the first two chapters, I haven't been able to put the book down. It's very difficult for me to press through a book, I love reading, but it does take a lot to keep me interested. There's a certain mystery about the book; wondering who Gatsby is and for me... what's everyone's problem? No one seems happy with their lives, everyone just seems miserable and unhappy with their lives, with their marriages, everything. Two chapters in, Daisy is annoyingly optimistic and sickeningly sweet while her husband Tom is a cheating husband (I would say something else, but let's stick with him just being 'a cheating husband') who's having an affair with the wife of someone else. Even their affair is almost devoid of happiness.
Nick (the narrator and our look into these character's lives) is an interesting enough narrator. I almost tell that Nick is uncomfortable being among high society and seems to be the blue collar kind of guy. He's a nice guy.

I'm only two chapters in, but there's something about the book that wants me to keep reading. So I'm only on page 47 so roughly 107 more pages to go. But if it keeps up whatever Fitzgerald has done to keep me interested, maybe I'll have it done in a few days.
