Just burned through Fitzgerald's The Beautiful and the Damned. Who knew the battle of an alcoholic against fate to remain idle in the leisure class while his money runs out could be so suspenseful? May be my favorite ending ever. Now I get to reward myself for getting through his three harder novels by basking in Gatsby for the next day. Trying to cram in as much leisure pleasure as I can before MY idle time runs out (but still sending out query letters to agents to represent Desolation Ghosts). It's a true luxury to read a book all the way through in big chunks instead of small pieces.
