11. Tender is the Night, F. Scott Fitzgerald 4 months ago

Great read. Read this while some girlfriends and I were in Cannes for my best friend’s wedding. Really fun reading a story that mentions places you’re visiting…just 80 odd years later…wow…80 years…what a strange/bittersweet idea to ruminate on. It really all is just that fleeting. :)
