early 1900's

Breakfast at Tiffany's by Capote, All the men are sad, The Great Gatsby and The curious case of Benjamin Button by Scott Fitzgerald.

I had no interest in the works of this time called "Lost Generation." But maybe it was just a silly prejudice coming from my ignorance. Once you get to know the background of this time, those books would be worth much more. It could apply to any kind of art works such as movies, music, paintings, and more. For example, if you know the background of the book, you would see different aspects of the story and that would give you better understanding of the story. I have ignored art history, music history, and all kinds of history classes in college, but now I can see how much they are interesting and important, and regret that I didn't take classes seriously.
