The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: F. Scott Fitzgerald


I signed up for DailyLit a few years ago, but couldn't get used to the format (you're emailed a short section of each book however often you indicate--in my case, it's daily). I'm trying it again now, but with shorter selections...attention deficit makes it hard for me to read just one page a day of a 300-page novel!

It surprised me how sad I felt reading this. I'd heard it was humorous, so I was expecting a far less melancholy story, but the description of Button's love for Hildegarde was heartbreaking, as well as his "growth" from an old man to a newborn.

11 DailyLit 'sections'; couldn't find exact page numbers anywhere online. Perhaps 25 or so?
