Time to play Pash, Pick or Pass - a game where we pick from a random book trio and say who we'd pash (and dash), who we'd pick for a relationship and who we'd pass on all together.
The Contenders
When I heard the news yesterday that Baz Luhrmann's upcoming adaptation of
The Great Gatsby would be released at Christmas, I got excited. Until I realised it was Christmas
2012. I can't wait that long! Of course, I'll have to... So to ease the pain of waiting, I decided to play Pash, Pick or Pass with the
Gatsby boys this week. Although I'm excited for the movie, the cast
aren't exactly who I pictured when I read it, so these are my ideas of the boys...

| Tom Buchanan |
My Choices
Pash: Gatsby, of course. Handsome, rich, fun... but way too messed up for anything permanent.
Pick: Nick. Yeah, he's kinda boring, but he's also kind, smart and stable - the natural choice out of the three for a lifelong commitment. I can always have Gatsby on the side, right? Not that I agree with that kind of thing. But this is Fitzgerald's world, not the real world, so what the hey.
Pass: Tom. He's one hell of a man, really. Emphasis on
hell. He's such a brute. He and Daisy deserve each other.
Who would you pash/pick/pass?
