Chose to read this collection of short stories by Fitzgerald for short stories week. I've never read anything other than Gatsby by him so i'm looking forward to this one.

I like his short stories! And my professor said it's good that you read Gatsby before the short stories because they are really separate works. If people read the shorts before Gatsby, they might think Gatsby's just a longer version of the shorts. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this week! :)
I just got this book a few months ago, and I wasn't thinking of it at all, but I'm definitely going to read it for Week 12! I was GOING to read The Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe, but I don't think I'm ready yet... Plus, it's not available at my library yet.
Wow. I read this, and it was awesome. So much better than the Great Gatsby! Everyone should read this.
Finally finished this. I just could't get into it. Struggling through it put me quite a few weeks behind in my reading. I can recognize that Fitzgerald is a good writer, but I guess his style just isn't for me.
