Francis Scott Fitzgerald : 10 BEST BOOKS I HAVE READ -Samuel Butler’s Note Books. The mind and heart of my favorite Victorian. -The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche (H. L. Mencken). A keen, hard intelligence interpreting the Great Modern Philosopher. -A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (James Joyce). Because James Joyce is to be the most profound literary influence in the next fifty years. -Zuleika Dobson (Max Beerbohm). For the sheer delight of its exquisite snobbery. -The Mysterious Stranger (Mark Twain). Mark Twain in his most sincere mood. A book and a startling revelation. -Nostromo (Joseph Conrad). The great novel of the past fifty years, as Ulysses is the great novel of the future. -Vanity Fair (Thackeray). No explanation required. -The Oxford Book of English Verse. This seems to me a better collection than Palgrave’s. -Thais (Anatole France). The great book of the man who is Wells and Shaw together. -Seventeen (Booth Tarkington). The funniest book I’ve ever read.
