What the fuck was his problem, old sport?

Gatsby isn't even his best book, clown

Elaborate.

The book The Great Gatsby is not his best one. He has written a better one and that better one has a title and the title of it is Tender is the Night and it's a good read.

This Side of Paradise (as you know) was his first work and he tries and experiments a lot of things with his writing so it's a bit all over the place and one of his lesser works. I agree with the guy above me that Tender is the Night is his best work although it's probably not as tidy and concise as Gatsby

Tender is the Night was a good read...starts off really strong IMO, I was very impressed. Fizzles out after the halfway mark, but wOrth a shot. Much more depth than Gatsby.

I had the exact opposite response in that I thought the book really picked up in the second half, mainly because you can sense a lot of the stuff between DIck/Nicole was autobiographical and Fitzgerald really poured his heart into it

This Side of Paradise is definitely his worst. Do yourself a favor and read The Beautiful and Damned and then This Side of Paradise.

His short stories are wonderful OP. Your derogatory comment on plot being the point of a novel reveals you for an anime-obsessed pleb though.
