Reading List Amended

This long review by Paul Berman has actually bumped Philip Roth's new novel up a few spots on my "to do" list. I can't remember the last time that happened. The end seems to have been chopped off, though.

I've felt the same way about this book since I read the review in USA Today last week. I went out today and bought it and am hoping it lives up to the hype.

A funny aside about my trip to the bookstore, when I asked the clerk at my local Waldenbooks if they had it she directed me to the "Current Events" section at first. It seems that she hadn't heard about this one and the title lead her to believe it was another "Political" book to add to the trash-heap that we've been so blessed with in this election year. Maybe not that funny, guess you had to be there...
