I'm halfway through the book and really enjoying it. Fitzgerald seems to hit his stride in Book Two. I encourage you to keep reading and to post comments whenever you are able.

Slow Going?
The book club is a tad idle. I myself have found reading this novel tortuous at times, and once I finished Book One I decided to take a little break. Funny, when "Blockhead" in the book discusses how psychological novels with thin or absent plots are useless to the film industry, I realized Fitzgerald was trying to get me to laugh at him when all I wanted to do was slap him on the back and congratulate him for trying to get The Beautiful and Damned moving a bit!
Please take your time with Book One. There really are some interesting insights into what it means to be a writer, what it means to be an American, what it means to be beautiful (if not damned, yet). Please add your comments to the Book One discussion below. We won't start on Book Two until we've seen a little action on Book One.
