Fitzgerald, F. Scott: The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. v1. 03 Jan 09
A wonderful story (and now a film) by F. Scott Fitzgerald, about a man who ages backward!

"'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'" is a 1921 short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, first published in Colliers Magazine, and subsequently anthologized in his book Tales of the Jazz Age (occasionally published as "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Jazz Age Stories"). It has been adapted for a 2008 film of the same name directed by David Fincher.

ENJOY!

Like all the books I assemble on MobileRead, this too was assembled to reflect human intervention and artistic judgment.

I hope you enjoy it.

1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example:
“Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked.
“Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed.
The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue.

Dr. Drib/Bob,
I have a Sony PRS505 and have Calibre installed on a Mac. I am a newbie trying to figure out how to convert some .pdf books to your beautifully formatted book The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I love the size of the font. I have poor eyesight and really love this size. Is there a CSS sheet I can copy? I have no idea how to do this.

I have downloaded several other F. Scott Fitzgerald books of your formatting and those are nice too, but I really like this size.

Thanks for the books.

This is a good story. The movie adaptation has the same basic story line and used similar themes but is quite different overall. I guess you need to Hollywoodize it to make it into a full length movie.

Thanks for the upload!!
