Subscribe at http://www.youtube.com/truthorfail John Green hosts Truth or Fail, bringing you facts that he wishes he didn't know about the greatest writers in English Literature.
My friend you have found the truth.
F. Scott Fitzgerald did try, at the very last second, to re-title 'The Great Gatsby' under the red write and blue; in fact he never liked the title 'The Great Gatsby' that much. He submitted the new title at the last second and the publisher said I'm sorry but we already printed the covers, and that's why 'The Great Gatsby' is called 'The Great Gatsby'.

Okay time to move on, fact one: D. H Lawrence, who wrote 'Lady Chatterley's lover' claimed in his life to have more than 1,000 lovers of his own.
Or, fact two:
The writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau got his jollies by mooning women.
