1.		Indignation from Houghton Mifflin Price: $17.16 Customer Review: Roth at the peak of his powers. This book stayed with me for days after I finished it.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Plot Against America from Thorndike Press Customer Review: This a very good novel with a very disappointing ending. I have no problem with the way Roth sets the novel up, using his own childhood and family as the main setting and characters. It makes the fictional elements seem real and historical to have them recounted through the memories of a child... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		American Pastoral from Vintage Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Roth combines two things we look for in a great novelist. A thorough command of the English language and a human heart. He can execute literary pyrotechnics on par with DeLillo or Pynchon, but what elevates Roth to the status of a master is his empathy. He deep, immersive compassion for his... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Exit Ghost Price: $18.00 Customer Review: 71-year-old Nathan Zuckerman, an established writer and thoughtful loner, hates cell phones and the narcissism of contemporary life, viewing himself as an "escapee from the coarse-grained world" of the Bush Administration and New York City after September 11, 2001 as well as of prostate problems and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Exit Ghost (Vintage International) from Vintage Price: $10.17 Customer Review: 71-year-old Nathan Zuckerman, an established writer and thoughtful loner, hates cell phones and the narcissism of contemporary life, viewing himself as an "escapee from the coarse-grained world" of the Bush Administration and New York City after September 11, 2001 as well as of prostate problems and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Portnoy's Complaint from Caedmon Price: $23.07 Customer Review: Philip Roth's 'Portnoy's Complaint' offers the reader a fresh take on the Novel while never forgetting the tradition of the great writers that came before him. Porntoy's complaint is a character study in the form of a monologue made by Alexander Portnoy, a successfull Jew. However, Alex suffers... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Human Stain: A Novel from Vintage Price: $10.17 Customer Review: So this is a story about Coleman Silk who is black. He was raised in a respectable black family, with an optometrist father and a mother who was one of the first black Head Nurses in New Jersey. The Silks however, as Coleman came to find out, were much more accepted in their NJ neighborhood because... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Everyman from Vintage Price: $10.40 Customer Review: This book opens, aptly, with the funeral of a nameless protagonist. It then follows on with a series of flashbacks on his life, raising probing questions concerning his (or really, everyman's) existence - on the tedium of day-to-day living, the pain of regret and loss, the debilitating nature of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Dying Animal (Movie Tie-in Edition/Elegy) (Vintage International) from Vintage Price: $10.36 Customer Review: This brief novel is a fine continuation of the David Kepesh saga. An aging man now, Professor Kepesh begins an ill-advised love affair with an inappropriately young, Latin American student. Kepesh puts it, having an affair with someone younger doesn't make you feel young, it makes you feel older -... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Herzog (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I am about halfway through this, which I'm slogging through for my reading group. I would never have chosen such a one, it being a book that is thought to be "enlightening." However one must admit that Saul Bellow, as an author, has a way with words and descriptions. Herzog is an unlikeable... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Zuckerman Bound: A Trilogy and Epilogue 1979-1985: The Ghost Writer / Zuckerman Unbound / The Anatomy Lesson / The Prague Orgy (Library of America #175) from Library of America Price: $23.10 Customer Review: I have not read this yet so am only commenting that the whole delivery porocess worked just fine	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Censored 2009: The Top 25 Censored Stories of 2007-08 (Censored) from Seven Stories Press Price: $13.57	Click here for more information


13.		The Ghost Writer from Vintage Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Put on your bathing suit and expect to get sprayed at every turn. When you think he's serious, he's kitschy. When he's just gone too far, he gets serious, philosophical. Always self-referential. But if you think it's autobiographical, he's just having fun with you. And you with him. At the same... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Goodbye, Columbus : And Five Short Stories (Vintage International) from Vintage Price: $10.17 Customer Review: In this initial work of Philip Roth, the characters almost seem too realistic at times. Though this is a collection of short stories, the title piece shines as the highlight of the set. Without a doubt, this is among Roth's finest works. "Goodbye, Columbus" is an authentic tale of summer love... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Philip Roth: Novels and Other Narratives 1986-1991 / The Counterlife / The Facts / Deception / Patrimony (Library of America #185) from Library of America Price: $23.10 Customer Review: Philip Roth emerged as one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century and a man whose talents were to stretch the boundaries of western literature and bring new life into American fiction. Capably edited by Ross Miller (Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		I Married a Communist from Vintage Price: $11.20 Customer Review: I had read about the "revenge" factor in this Roth novel and perhaps because I wasn't quite familiar with the principals (on whom this book was supposedly based on), I ignored the negative spin and just enjoyed the story for what it was ... an invaluable lesson for all writers no matter their genre... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.	[no image]	Laughable Loves from Alfred A. Knopf Customer Review: "When it comes to commerce, the erotic is a touchy issue, because while everyone may covet the erotic life, everyone also hates it as the source of their troubles, their frustrations, their yearnings, their complexes, their sufferings" Milan Kundera, Identity (p. 51). With his European... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Sabbath's Theater from Vintage Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I first read Sabbath's Theater--my first encounter with Roth, for that matter--when it was initially published in the late 90s. I thought that it was the funniest book that I had ever encountered. I laughed so much that my girlfriend could not wait for me to finish it and went to buy her own copy. I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Patrimony : A True Story from Vintage Price: $10.36 Customer Review: I like Philip Roth as an author. This book is really a tribute to his father not so much his mother. It seems that he was closer to his father, Herman Roth who he calls the true Bard of Newark, New Jersey. While his son, Philip Roth, has continued to become one of America's top authors and was... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		The Anatomy Lesson from Vintage Price: $11.16 Customer Review: This was my first Philip Roth book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought the descriptions of the pain that Zuckerman felt were brilliant. One passage where he describes one of his women cooking him rice pudding because he shredded his stomach with painkillers sticks in my mind. I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
