Native Son

Because this book is so thick, and our book club is going to discuss it in a few weeks, I thought I'd start Native Son by Richard Wright. Three days, and I finished it. I remember that Liesl read this book for high school, and she liked it. The style (though not the content) feels a little dated to me - Wright pretty much explains everything about the Bigger Thomas' character in the third section, like a hit to the head with a brick. The story, though, is compelling.
