As we have mentioned before, one of Max's authors was F. Scott Fitzgerald. Most of us probably didn't make it out of high school without at least reading "The Great Gatsby" and I am wishing I had the time to delve into more and more of the literature edited by Max. It is fascinating to have this connection to the Inn and to have record of the communication between Max and his authors.

Does anyone have a favorite Fitzgerald? Have you read "Tender is the Night"?

that is cool to have the connection... maybe you can market theme nights. "A great gatsby night" sounds fun! lol
I love Fitzgerald! I have read a few - Gatsby, This Side of Paradise, Tender is the Night - need to re-read them again!
I haven't read much from him but I think I have just been inspired to maybe visit the library and pick something up.
Matthew and I fell in love reading the Great Gatsby aloud together for our shared class -- our first car was named Daisy Fay (awww).
This is really cool! I've read the Great Gatsby, but have no idea what Tender is the Night is about
Read the Great Gatsby loved it.
tender is the night is my favorite!
The Great Gatsby is my fav
