Well I read _Sabbath's Theater_ and thought it was great, it is however, unfortunate that he only has one book that is better. That means there is not a lot to look forward to. I really want to try _Deception_ I like trying experimental stuff and I heard that it's all dialogue. But I will probably end up reading _American Pastoral_ or _Portnoy's Complaint_ because they are both available at my local library.

Portnoy's Complaint is an amazing book. Certainly one of the funniest novels I've read. I need to check out the other couple ones that you rate ahead of it.

I loved, loved, loved Sabbath's Theater--it was the first Roth book I read--after reading a review of it, I had to get my hands on it!
