A Book Everyone Should Read!

Looking at the title of this book, many of us think of a man wrapped completely in bandages and wearing dark goggles. Then we realize that it is not Wells who wrote this book, but Ralph Ellison who reflects his life through the words on these pages. He describes how it was being a man of color in the early '50's and why he saw himself as being invisible. At the beginning of the book, he explains that his invisibility is not the result of some biochemical reaction or any supernatural phenomena, but because of the unwillingness of other people to see him. If you are looking to read a great book, or you really want to get an in-depth look at how life was for many African-Americans of that time, Invisible Man is the book to read.
