The only Roth I care is about is the dude who worked for the Irish Republican Army and grows my wealth.

Portnoy's Complaint is a great book. The Plot Against America is pretty damn solid as well.

Ah man, sad to hear. Goodbye Columbus is one of the best books to read for young men in my view.

Loved American Pastoral.

One of the few writers from the second half of the 20th Century that didn't shy away from writing about male sexuality in all its lurid, hedonistic, downright gross glory.

The Human Stain is as prescient a novel from the 90s as you'll ever find - its themes about race, power, poltical correctness, college campus censorship, and, of course, sexual judgment are all still incredibly relevant today.
