Have you ever fallen in love with a book just because of the title ? I did with Fitzgerald’s Tender is the night.

Tender is the Night is my favorite Fitzgerald (I’m not a Gatsby fan).
@Don, I never read tender is the night but I’m not a Gatsby fan either
@Stacey I think Fitzgerald is really best as a short story writer. “Babylon Revisited” is as good as the American short story gets.
@Don agree. The curious case of Benjamin Button brilliant
It’s not a classic but probably Ready Player one. I love classic games too so I was pretty sure I was going to enjoy that one ??
The Handmaid’s Tale. Made me so curious
John dies at the end by David Wong

I fell in.love with the music that accompanied the movie , Tender is the Night.
I also loved the book, basically, the JAZZ ERA.
Great titles: All the Light We Cannot See; I Know This Much Is True; The Sound and the Fury
@Kristen based off all the light we cannot see have you tried the nightingale or beneath a scarlet sky? If not you may like them too ?
@Sean loved the nightingale! I’ll add beneath a scarlet sky to my list, thank you!
Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons…love the book as well ?
How the steel was tempered..
“100 Years of Solitude”
Love that title
Braving The wilderness..
Not fall in love, but I had to read Upon a Winter’s Night a Traveler because of the name.
Catcher in the Rye
I need to add another one …far from the madding crowd … I hate crowds and I read this when I was way too young bc I loved the title … Hardy became my favorite writer
Same. I fell in love with the title, so then I had to suffer through reading it. First and last time I read Fitzgerald.
@Catherine I like the book too. But I struggle with the beautiful and damned, surprisingly.
Actually I love all of Fitzgerald’s titles. He had some good ones! I wonder if he named his books and short stories or if Zelda did?
Lynne Marcus very true, Hemingway too ❤️
Lynne Marcus
Why would you think Zelda would have been the one, who chose the titles?
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER?
Wasn’t she schizophrenic ? Also, institutionalized at intervals?
And…jealous of her husband’s fame and career???
