What do you think about him?

I just finished The Great Gatsby and I really loved it. I was thinking about This Side of Paradise next, since it was his first book and I've heard a lot of good things about it.

Anyway, any other fans? I know Zelda Fitzgerald was also a writer... anyone read any of her stuff?

I could -not- get through the Great Gatsby.
Maybe my English class ruined it. But I read the first six chapters and never picked it back up.

Yeah, I read it on my own. Sometimes a teacher can really ruin a book.

Well. I completely ruined that teacher in return, so I guess we're even.

i loved great gatsby. one of the only books required for school reading that i actually could say i enjoyed. i'm thinking of picking up "tender is the night" next.

yes, zelda wrote one novel on her own, "save me the waltz"...it's hard to find. she wrote a bunch of poems and even a play somewhere too.
