F. Scott Fitzgerald

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald IS one of the best authors this country has ever known. He is my second favorite author, next to J.K. Rowling. "The Great Gatsby" is one of my favorite novels; I've read it four times. Currently I'm reading "The Beautiful and Damned" and I'm impressed thus far. Fitzgerald uses his own life experiences and translates it into his novels. I feel like I am, in a way, reading him when I read any of his novels.
