The Human Stain
5 journalers for this copy...
Just got this book and have not had the time to read it yet.
This book was mailed to BXer alsomama on November 14, 2003.
Thanks, AnitaNovel! I just received the book yesterday. A couple of friends were over for lunch when two BookCrossing books arrived in the mail. It gave me a chance to suitably impress them with the value of being a member of BC. Yes, there was some eye-rolling going on among family members but I've learned to live with that. I look forward to reading The Human Stain as it was recently recommended by a friend.
A good friend highly recommended this book, so in spite of my protests that I never liked Philip Roth, I requested it on the Book Wish List Forum and AnitaNovel generously sent it to me.
I still don't like Philip Roth.
The story alternated between plodding and description-laden and speeded-up-confusing. Unpleasant, damaged main characters. And the unbelieveable premise that a man would give up so much to keep his past a mystery. And get away with it.
Well, of course they made a movie out of it.

Giving to BC buddy shaindal today.
I am in the middle of 2 books "Good in Bed" & " Carter Beats the Devil", so my husband starting reading it. He took it yestersday to Alaska for a business trip.
I own a used bookstore in seattle. An employee bought the book at the big Goodwill in town, then brought it to me, not realizing that it was "feral", or not a tame book (like Aslan)
I am going to leave it in a coffee shop down the street, so that it can go back in circ. I will "eat" the $2.00 I paid for it.
Like Paddle-to-the-Sea, I suppose...
(I personally real non-fiction exclusively. Could you make a Bookcrossing copy of Stephen Jay Gould's Panda's Thumb, or one of this other essay collections, free for me?) I am not a member.
CHEERS!
