"I don't want to repeat my innocence. I want the pleasure of losing it again." -This Side of Paradise, F. Scott Fitzgerald
This famous author's burial site is in Maryland. After years of having it on my "TO DO" list, I finally got around to visiting his grave. F. Scott Fitzgeralds more popular books include: The Great Gatsby, This Side of Paradise and the recently made-to-film The Curious Case of Benjimin Button. It took us a little while to find his grave, but it was well worth it.
Can you spot the lipstick stain?

This is an outstanding quote, and what a cool experience that must have been for you all. I try and re-read The Great Gatsby every couple of years. It's always relevant and very moving.
great gatsby has always been my favorite books
I just love how much you appreciate literature, I can relate so much... It's definitely a great sight to see, can be quite moving, right? I went to see the grave of many of my favourite authors in Paris, I really enjoyed that.
Vivian: I BET you saw Oscar Wilde's sight didn't you? Oh how amazing it must have been to be in his presence. he is my all-time-favorite author. =)
I'm so glad you appreciate literature just as I do...sometimes we can be a little too zealous, but at least you understand! lol
the revelry of your moment, is mine as well, vicariously. :)
