No Complaints, Portnoy

Quickly want to recommend Portnoy's Complaint by Philip Roth.

A quick, intense, funny, educational (take that for what it is worth, considering the book is fictional...OR IS IT!!!??), explicit, sexual romp through Judaism,  masturbation, sex, neuroses, oh and then some more sex but only now the sex is neurotic...OR IS IT!!!???
