britlaccetti 's review for:
American Pastoral
by Philip Roth
I enjoyed reading this book, except it took me forever. It wasn't a "page turner" for me. I often found myself putting the book down to do other things like...laundry. I like books that help me procrastinate. I started reading it because it was on all TIMES top 100. Phillip Roth is a very detailed writer. I did like the book though, it was worth the time it took me to get it finished.
This quote from the book sums it up pretty well "He had learned the worst lesson that life can teach- that it makes no sense."
Wait one more...
"What was astonishing to him was how people seemed to run out of their own being, run out of whatever the stuff was that made them who they were and, drained of themselves, turn into the sort of people they would once have felt sorry for. It was as though while their lives were rich and full they were secretly sick of themselves and couldn't wait to dispose of their sanity and their health and all sense of proportion so as to get down to that other self, the true self, who was a wholly deluded fuck up."
