"And I like large parties. They're so intimate. At small parties there isn't any privacy," from "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald."

The big party is from Fitzgerald's beloved novel, and the tale will be released in its entirety on Twitter. Releasing the story in 140 character increments could take five years.

A Twitter user by the name of "@ihatejoemarshall" has vowed and started the release of "The Great Gatsby" novel early on this month. Releasing the entire novel could take it to 2019 for it be finished, but this Twitter user is not alone in their pursuit to release a beloved novel in 140 characters or less.

Marshall sent their first tweet on Sept. 9: "Chapter 1 In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been..." As of writing this article, this Twitter user has tweeted again on Chapter 1: "an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever ..."

The "@ihatejoemarshall" user is not alone in their endeavor to release a novel via Twitter.

Back in 2009, there was a user by the name of "@publicdomain" who came up with the idea to tweet out Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," Moby Lives reported.

The last tweet was on Dec. 15 2009 stating: "If you have an idea for the next book to tweet, please let me know. Remember, it has to be in the public domain."

The author has to be dead for over 70 years. Public domain is the key here, and "The Great Gatsby" is not protected under it. Marshall would face some legal problems, Moby Lives reported.

Why does Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" still have an impact even today? One critic says it is because of its language. "The Great Gatsby" was released in 1925, 89 years ago, and since then, it has been read by millions. The beloved novel has spawned TV movies, films, a ballet, an Opera, a radio reading and several theater stage adaptations.

Readers have been captivated by the tragic tale of Jay Gatsby and his elusive love Daisy Buchanan, USA Today reported. One critic Maureen Corrigan, 59, says that the story is about somebody trying to be better.

"It is how Fitzgerald tells it that takes your breath away," Corrigan said.

Corrigan adds that the story of the poor boy who is attempting to remake himself is very captivating. "The Great Gatsby" tells the tale of a nobody who wants to rise up from out of the crowd, and once one has achieved that then they are special, USA Today reported.

"Maybe you can rise up for a little while but you're going to be pulled down again, inevitably, by your own past, by the weight of your dreams, by fate. If it were just a success story it wouldn't touch people as deeply as it does," Corrigan said.
