Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

I really regret reading this book, because it just seemed to drag on and on, and I think if I was 20 years older, maybe I'd like it.

This book is about a man who says he is "invisible". Not invisible like a ghost, but invisible from society, as he is a black man in a white society. Just to let you know, this story was written in the 50s, where racial hate was at its highest. Ralph Ellison really shows not only how white people treated African Americans, but the other way around as well. The man in the book is nameless and travels from the "Deep South" to the dangerous streets of Harlem.

The book is pretty harsh and a bit funny, but incredibley boring (to me). Many people have named it "one of the most audacious and dazzling novels of our century" and a book that "changed the shape of American literature".

But if you want to read 581 pages of "boring", go ahead!
