thoughts?
some good shit right there. Been thinking about re-reading it lately and going for the rest of the series. The protagonist reminds me of my parents

Well, well worth it. Updike is a fantastic writer. You just get more attached to the characters as you go along, especially to Rabbit's bastardly ways. It's just an American novel/series in every sense of the word. Fuckin' love it. In the Beauty of the Lilies is also very good. And his essays. Haven't read much of his other stuff. Some stories, which a lot of people think are his best stuff.
Good but uninteresting.

Where to start?

I tried a few Updikes (Rabbit Run, The Centaur, Marry Me), didn't get into them and ended up abandoning them after a few chapters. Then I read Of the Farm and really liked it.
