This Side of Paradise is a romantic, funny novel which was F. Scott Fitzgerald's first major work, at the age of 23. It was a bestseller and established him as a preeminent writer of his time. The novel includes mockery of the social elite and a pampered child of wealth, named Amory Blaine.
There is a fair amount of references to Christianity in the secular novel, in addition to its title, such as this:
| “ | Amory selected a blade of grass and nibbled at it scientifically.
“I never fall in love in August or September,” he proffered. “When then?” |

Published on March 26, 1920, this novel has passed into the public domain and thus is available to all for free today.[1]
