I’m almost finished with Fitzgerald’s The Beautiful and the Damned. The novel takes place in Manhattan and the outlying suburbs of New York. I like that I can connect with the setting. For example, this weekend, as I was traveling to Tarrytown, the novel referenced Tarrytown. While some have a habit of blogging, I have a habit of online shopping. I must quit ordering books until I finish some of the books I have piling up.
