Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, fiction, 581 pages.
I had trouble getting into this book. During the first thirty to fifty pages, while the unnamed protagonist is attending school, I was afraid that this was going to be a bit of a slog. Once it got going though, it was a wild ride. The scenes at the paint factory and the industrial clinic are surreal. The communist / activist part is never boring. We had a great discussion about this book in late September. A true classic.
