When I heard that novelist Phillip Roth had died, I debated whether I should write something.  I have never read any of his novels, and I don't think I have read any of his short stories.  Despite, I have read and heard about him all my life.  Professors in college mentioned him, but never assigned any of his works for us to read.  Lots of people made jokes about Portnoy's Complaint.  I have read many reviews of his later novels, but never tried to read one.  I should.
