Philip Roth can do no wrong in my eyes. This is the story of a man torn between his life as a righteous Jew and his sex addiction, particularly for "shiksas". This is full of Jewish reference, and I'm not sure one would care for it if they did not understand what it is to be Jewish and raised on Jewish guilt. Nonetheless, a great book!
