Some people say Fitzgerald is much better in writing short stories. Let's see if it's true!Fanda Classiclithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642429343958941266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383119466961870537.post-11585077762523858152014-02-17T10:25:45.974-05:002014-02-17T10:25:45.974-05:00Definitely found myself nodding along in agreement...Definitely found myself nodding along in agreement whilst reading this! I'm not sure why I felt so compelled to finish it but I think it is something to do with how much I love Gatsby (although I hated that on the first read). I'm going to try some of his short stories though and see if they avoid his 'haughty sentimentalism', as you so brilliantly put it. I must say, I did far prefer Save Me the Waltz.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362128444319074118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383119466961870537.post-56546882578179977612013-07-03T19:12:41.672-04:002013-07-03T19:12:41.672-04:00Tiffany: If you ever do get around to reading this...Tiffany: If you ever do get around to reading this, I'd like to know what you think about it, positive or negative. I just wouldn't classify it as a priority but that's just me...<br /><br />Ruby: Ha, call me immature but that name is just so unintentionally hilarious. I'm surprised there was no mention of him being teased at all for having a name like that. <br /><br />I have heard his short stories are pretty good but he wrote them for primarily for money since he was broke near the end of his life so who knows if his financial situation had an impact on the quality of the writing.

Your review has saved me the trouble of comparing, I definitely don't want to read Tender is the Night after this. I had heard it was really good, though..!Priyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671631876416310280noreply@blogger.com
