I just got finished reading Letting Go by Philip Roth, which was recommended to me during lecture by my old college professor, Marshall Boswell (incidentally, Boswell has written two terrific books, Trouble With Girls and Alternative Atlanta, which you should check out). This novel is very complex, very dense at over 600 pages, with at times very strange language. Still, what a fascinating book. I particularly liked the final sentence, which perfectly embodies Gabe's plight. Not an easy book to read (I wonder if The Counterlife is more accessible), but worth checking out.
Next up: The Sellout by Paul Beatty
