This collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short stories is an enjoyable and light read. While Fitzgerald is not my favorite early 20th-century fiction writer (my personal favorite from this time period is Steinbeck), he is funny and lighthearted, and a number of stories contained in this collection I would recommend, like "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "The Camel's Back," and "The Cut-Glass Bowl," to name a few. My first introduction to Fitzgerald was "The Great Gatsby," which I enjoyed; these shorter stories are not nearly as gripping as that classic, but they do show Fitzgerald's wit, style, and writing skill. I would recommend serious Fitzgerald fans to pick up this collection, but for those who have never read Fitzgerald before, I would recommend beginning with "The Great Gatsby."
