Flappers and Philosophers
Flappers and Philosophers | F. Scott Fitzgerald
This unlikely story begins on a sea that was a blue dream, as colorful as blue-silk stockings, and beneath a sky as blue as the irises of children's eyes. From the western half of the sky the sun was shying little golden disks at the seaif you gazed intently enough you could see them skip from wave tip to wave tip until they joined a broad collar of golden coin that was collecting half a mile out and would eventually be a dazzling sunset. About half-way between the Florida shore and the golden collar a white steam-yacht, very young and graceful, was riding at anchor and under a blue-and-white awning aft a yellow-haired girl reclined in a wicker settee reading The Revolt of the Angels, by Anatole France.

His writing style is so engrossing. Even within each of these short stories, he is so vivid in the characters, emotions, settings, and themes. I enjoyed the majority of them. Many of the plots had those great kicker moments right at the end that make a short story really sing. There were a few that had frustratingly racist moments, and one in particular that was very racist.

These are the two books I picked up at B&N last night.

One of my non-bookish obsessions is The Beatles, and I am super excited to do some coloring this weekend, since I have no plans to do anything outside my house!

This B&N edition of Fitzgerald includes Flappers and Philosophers and The Beautiful and the Damned, plus a bunch of short stories. I thought the $7.98 discounted price was pretty reasonable.

A journal I kept a few years ago. I definitely wrote about very emotional things, which is pretty appropriate considering it's Fitzgerald. #riotgrams #NotebooksJournals

Today's "Operation Finish All the Books I'm in the Middle Of" has turned into a journey of discovery titled "Oh—so THAT'S where all my favorite bookmarks went."

BookishMarginalia I can relate! That Shakespeare bookmark is lovely, btw 8y

Another masterpiece from a great American writer. If Gatsby turned you off of Fitzgerald's writing, give these short stories a try.
