I have recently read the story The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and found it quite interesting, and I would like to read some more of his short stories, but I am not that familair with his short works. Instead of just randomly choosing a story I like to get recomendations.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
One that always sticks out in my head, for whatever reason, and is fitting for the summer is one called The Offshore Pirate. They are all really good though, it's the Fitz!

I'm sure you've found many more by now, but I would recommend reading Babylon Revisited. Typical Fitzgerald; I enjoyed this story, although it's a little nostalgic.
I would recommend The Diamond as Big as the Ritz.

"Bernice Bobs Her Hair" I think you will like that one D-M. Somehow I think it's one your sensibilities will get a kick.

Babylon Revisited is amazing. Winter Dreams, The Last of the Belles, Absolution and The Last of the Belles all stand out in my memory too.
I agree. Accessible, fun and has a great ending. Made me love FitzyOriginally Posted by Virgil
