Nope: I still can't get into Fitzgerald. Tried [b:Tender is the Night|46164|Tender Is the Night|F. Scott Fitzgerald|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1287591475s/46164.jpg|8272]. Tried this one. The prose is often beautiful, evocative, but life is too short to spend time with these shallow meaningless characters. There's just nothing to learn here. Their emotions are caricatures. I tried to read with a compassionate heart, but ended up just feeling sorry for them... and for Fitzgerald.
