That's it I'm going back and re-reading all these books, asJimmy Magee said:Ignorance be Milan Kundera.
I'm beginning to agree with the mysogyny charges levied against him previously.

That was after the madness was it not?Juno said:I've just finished reading a book by Zelda Fitzgerald called 'Save Me the Waltz'. It's quite interesting as she wrote it in 6 weeks and it's basically a fictionalised version of her marriage with F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was definitely one of those "Is it that I don't understand it or is it just bad?" books. The second half was pretty good but the first half was almost incoherent (I thought). Anyone else read it?

Juno said:She was sick at the time but it was a few years before she was put in an asylum. It's interesting to see the changes in writing as she improves health-wise. However, I think it still could've done with a bit of editing.
