Philip Roth: “I’m trying to reread the best before… I die.” No. 10.23.2009. 135.

The Wall Street Journal: What are you reading these days?

Mr. Roth: Mostly what I’m doing is rereading stuff that I read in my 20s, writers who were big in my reading life who I haven’t read in 50 years. I’m talking about Dostoyevsky, Faulkner, Turgenev, Conrad. I’m trying to reread the best before… I die.
