Again the names — then they lurched together as if the taxi had swung them. Her breasts crushed flat against him, her mouth was all new and warm, owned in common. They stopped thinking with an almost painful relief, stopped seeing; they only breathed and sought each other. They were both in the gray gentle world of a mild hangover of fatigue when the nerves relax in bunches like piano strings, and crackle suddenly like wicker chairs. Nerves so raw and tender must surely join other nerves, lips to lips, breast to breast . . . .

I finally read Tender is the Night last year and was surprised how good it is. It's the best complete Fitzgerald I've read (if it had been completed, The Last Tycoon might have ended up the best).

Has anyone tried reading it in the 1948 edition order (chronologically)?

Hemingway nailed the book when he said that it gets better every time he re-reads it. I was initially disappointed, but the damn thing gets more comfy every time I go back to it. I also have the chronology version, but it's no big deal because it's just the books ripped apart and rearranged.

Good. The prose is excellent and Fitzy keeps it brutally realistic (for obvious reasons)

Childhood is idolizing The Great Gatsby
Adulthood is realizing Tender is the Night is the better choice
