Rabbit Is Rich (Rabbit Angstrom #3) by John Updike.

"Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom finally feels settled, successful and steady in life. He's married, is a member of the Flying Eagle Country Club and is the head Sales Associate at Springer Motors. He's more or less content but that all changes when Nelson, his son, returns home from College for Summer Break and drops a bombshell. Now Rabbit has to decide how to deal with the consequences and attempt to ignore his first instinct, which is, of course, to run away when things get tough."  3 Stars Pros:  With each novel, about ten years has passed, so it's been an interesting way to see how Rabbit and his family has or hasn't changed and how the world around them has.  Cons:  Rabbit Angstrom is now bordering on creepy, lecherous old man, all he seems to think about is sex/The way Janice, Nelson and Rabbit speak to each other, it's one argument or snide remark after the other. It certainly doesn't make me think of a content, happy family/The things Rabbi
