It's been awhile.


In terms of Roth, I've only read The Human Stain which had a pretty interesting concept.

damn, white noise is all of his i've read. i came across a baseball book but im not really into that so i was turned off, perhaps stupidly so.

i'm gonna check out mao II as demonrail said.

from philip roth, i own portnoy's complaint but it has always bored me. maybe it was great in the 70s, i dont know. i can't try again. maybe i will.

however, a story-- one day i was hanging out @ the local bookstore (in dc) and i started reading "the dying animal". i was completely engrossed in it but i could only read 1/2 because i had to go. didnt buy it as it had only come out in hardcover and it was something like 26 bucks that i didnt have at the time. anyway, i need to read that, i did enjoy it, philip roth in the antechamber of death, obsessed with old age and the big crunch creeping up on him. i say check it out.
