52. PORTNOY'S COMPLAINT by Philip Roth

I'm a voracious reader, but apparantly I'm not as well read as I thought (I've probably read a few others on the list that I've forgotten about). I have read exceprts from some of James Joyce's works, & wouldn't read an entire book by him under the threat of a slow painful death. Why Philip Roth is on the list is beyond me.

I'm very surprised that To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee isn't on the list.
