#20booksofsummer completed

On July 24, 2017July 24, 2017 By bookskepticIn Thoughts6 Comments

This was unexpected, but the unexpected sometimes happens and it's not always a bad thing. I officially completed my #20booksofsummer reading on Saturday, more than a month early. Last year I struggled a lot more to finish on time, so what was different this year? No teeth problems to start with, not that those months …

I Married a Communist – Philip Roth

On July 8, 2017June 26, 2017 By bookskepticIn Reviews4 Comments

Finally after more than a year my reading of The American Trilogy is now complete. I liked Human Stain a lot, I absolutely loved American Pastoral, so I was excited about this one, I even delayed reading it a bit just to know I have something delicious ahead of me. The premise is very similar …

2/3 of The American Trilogy – Philip Roth

On January 16, 2016April 10, 2020 By bookskepticIn Reviews4 Comments

I admit I didn't know much about Roth when I started reading his books. I didn't know so much that I didn't even know 'Human Stain' was the last book of the American Trilogy, so it became the first book written by Roth I read. I loved it, the complexity, the big and small picture, …

The Human Stain – Philip Roth – Quotes

On January 12, 2016April 10, 2020 By bookskepticIn Quotes4 Comments

My first Roth... I finished this book few months ago and still I’m not sure I’m ready to write its review. I liked the writing, characters, story, but it’s not about that, this is the superficial layer. I think I’m still digesting the book in some way, it touched on so many topics, all forms …
