Yeah, White Noise was pretty good. I've been meaning to check out some other Delillo. Any suggestions?
I wrote my final paper in one of my college classes (Contemporary American Literature) about how his kids were the only ones truly aware of what the fuck was REALLY going on and how easily adults are bombarded/influenced by the world and how this effects their actions because of fear about how they will be perceived by others ect.......I think. It's been awhile.
In terms of Roth, I've only read The Human Stain which had a pretty interesting concept.
