10. Philip Roth "Everyman"
This is one of those short books that seem like anyone could write it but if you actually try it's damn near impossible. In other words, this under 200 page novel is to the point but clear. Roth does a lot with a little, unlike this odd review I'm writing.
My girlfriend bought this book in a hospital gift shop. It's about the life and death of a 70-something year old male. We're taken through his life from early childhood to five years before death. It seems like it would be an awful book to read in a hospital.
Read this book. It's sound in every way.
