Just Finished
Hi, I just finished the book (staying inside all day to keep out of the winter storm in CT) and thorougly enjoyed it. I don't understand why this book wasn't on more "best of 2004" lists. I really liked how the novel was from young Philip's perspective. Even without the well-conceived main plot, I think this book can be enjoyed also as a coming-of-age story. It was extremely depressing at times in its plausibility. I suppose I should mention that I grew up as a Jew in the deep south and that this was the seventh Philip Roth book I've read (although this one was very different from the others). I'm looking forward to the discussion.

Hey Lauren! I need a good snowstorm to keep me inside so I can finish it, too :).
