Born under unusual circumstances

F. Scott Fitzgerald is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. So I have only read two and a half of his works, but what I've read I've loved. This December one of his short stories is going to be shown on the big screen.

If you have a free day, nay hours, go find a copy of this book and read it. It is full of humor and makes you appreciate life. It is a story of a child named Benjamin Button who is born as an old man and grows young. Mark Twain commented on the story saying, "It's a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worse part at the end."

Gift yourself on Christmas and go see this picture show...great actors, interesting story, fabulous time period...sure to win some gold men. Watch the trailer.
