Clearly, Philip Roth wrote The Great American Novel.

But seriously. That's overall not a bad list (I agree with Jeff about American Psycho), but I am surprised no one mentioned The Catcher in the Rye.

I thought it was pretty good, too. Covers a lot of ground.

I agree, especially as I have read quite a few of them.

Always partial to Lonesome Dove myself. It seems to say more about the American character than any novel I can think of.

But what about the book Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens? He is a talented writer and his books are very interesting. This book can be found right here at https://bookkooks.com/where-the-crawdads-sing-review/
