Scott Fitzgerald, . My sister Marguerite and I discovered something interesting a few months ago when we were talking about this book. Whenever we come across a copy of it, I always turn to the opening page and read the first couple of sentences, and she always turns to the back and reads the last sentence. ! Here's the opening sentences: "In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. ' Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,' he told me, ' just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.'' And here's the last sentence: " So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." In between, some good reading. The only Fitzgerald book I love. Marguerite dosn't like it much at all, except for that last sentence. 1953 hardback book club edition, no dj, 1.00 Uncollected Stories of William Faulkner edited by Joseph Blotner.
