hey, lets do an online book club! my goal has been to read a book a month (i’m a moderate achiever). i skipped september but kavalier and clay was like 700 pages so that should count as two books. heh.

so this month’s book is american pastoral by philip roth. The last Roth book I read was Portnoy’s Complaint (which was more like Portnoy’s Rant). I thought it was hilarious at first but then fifty pages into it I was like okay, I get it, you wanna get laid and you hate your mother. But American Pastoral is supposed to be the standout of his oeuvre (insert exaggerated French accent here) so it should be good.

if you have any other book recs please let me know! especially books by female writers. it’s a little disconcerting that my bookshelf is dominated by white, male, jewish writers. kinda like my love life. or not.

aaaaaaand scene.
