 The short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald that the current movie is based on is an excellent story. I haven't read any F. Scott since high school so it was good to read something so consisely and pointedly written. There is much depth in the 50 pages of this story. The movie changed much of the tale itself but kept some of the themes related to discriminating against a person based on their appearance as well as learning to treasure each moment of your life. I think this is the kind of story (in both the book and movie) that each person is going to take a different meaning from. It would be interesting to be in a book discussion on this one to hear what others have to say.

Pick it up and read it some evening and let me know what you think.

 I'm definitely curious about this book & the movie. Got a lot of Oscar nominations today.
