All about da blog

After a lifetime of failed new year resolutions- from wanting to wake up on time to solving world hunger, I have decided to tweak my previous resolution. I shall read and blog about less than or equal to 50 books during the course of the year- with emphasis on the "less than"

Book 8: The Human Stain - Philip Roth

Do not bother wasting your time reading this book. Words cannot explain how much I abhor this book. The biggest question was "Why?". Why did this book get picked in a top 100 listing? Why can I not find what it is that all the people enthused about? Why did I decide to even read this? Why can I not mildly bonk the author on his head? Why? Why? Why?


The book is supposed to be an attack on political correctness which alone would make one think that it would be an entertaining novel. Well, one would be WRONG. It is boring and monotonous and filled with one dimensional characters. There is something about the characters which seems so whiny and not at all someone you would like to sit next to on a long flight - or even on a short one.

To sum up - bah!
