Author Philip Roth says he's enjoying retirement and hopes that he won't find inspiration to write another book.

This might come as bad news to fans that were hoping their favorite author Philip Roth won't find retirement all that interesting and would return to writing another masterpiece, but the author says he's perfectly content with retirement and wonders why he didn't think of it earlier.

"I'm doing fine without writing," he said Monday in a report published by Yahoo. "Someone should have told me about this earlier."

The winner of the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize's retirement news made it to the front page of the New York Times in November after he delivered 31 works of wonders. Now, the retired author hopes he doesn't find inspiration to write another book.

"I found it 31 times," he said. "I don't want to find it anymore. I'm tired."

After Roth finished working on his last book "Nemesis" which was released in 2010, the author began reading all his books and tells The Wrap that his favorite among his volume of work is "Sabbath's Theater" and "American Pastoral."

Explaining his first choice, he says, "I think it's got a lot of freedom in it. That's what you're looking for as a writer when you're working. You're looking for your own freedom. To lose your inhibition to delve deep into your memory and experiences and life and then to find the prose that will persuade the reader."

"The other book I like very much is the book that follows 'Sabbath's Theater,'" Roth continued. "'Sabbath's Theater' is about a kind of giant of disobedience, Mickey Sabbath. He's death haunted and yet has great gaiety about his own death. He's an interesting guy, but he wouldn't be thought of as a conventionally virtuous man."

"In 'American Pastoral,' the next book, I wanted to write about a conventionally virtuous man. I was sick of Mickey Sabbath and I wanted to go to the other end of the spectrum. I think the book worked, enabled me to write about the most powerful decade of my life, the '60s, and the domestic turbulence of the '60s, and I think I got a lot of that into the book."
