Reading Myself and Others (1975) is an anthology of essays, interviews and criticism by the author Philip Roth.

The first half of the book is built mainly upon Roth's assessment of his own published works at the time of the anthology's publication.

Many of the essays were occasioned by the abrupt fame and scrutiny[citation needed] which came to Roth upon the publication of his storm-provoking fourth novel, Portnoy's Complaint (1969).

[1] In the "Author's Note", Roth writes that the selections in the book "are largely the by-products of getting started as a novelist, and then of taking stock.

Among the interviews, one was conducted by the author Joyce Carol Oates about Roth's novel The Breast (1972).
