Can someone recommend a powerful book similar to Invisible Man or Native Son?"

I'd have to say The Street by Ann Petry.

Glad to hear it, Carrie. I hope it goes well with you.

Good week for reading.

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Hooray! That is a good feeling.

I haven't read this one yet, mostly because I don't want it to change how I felt about The Handmaid's Tale

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

So glad you enjoyed it.

[Shaina]

Congratulations Carrie! A bingo sounds great.

[Shaina]

Carrie, we have so many books in common (not only read but also to be read) and have rated many pretty similarly. I liked quite a few of the ones on your shelf. Adding them to my TBR.

[Sue]

Congratulations on your BINGO's Carrie! I love that you are putting a focus on rereading some of your favorites. That is something I'm not good about doing. I'm always chasing the next favorite. I need to make rereads a priority.

[Terris]

Way to go, Carrie! You're getting close to the finish line!

[Terry]

Great work, Carrie, 🥳 Congrats!

[Shirley (stampartiste)]

Congratulations, Carrie! You are so close to a blackout! Good luck with your remaining selections.

[Terris]

It's so much fun when each read results in a Bingo! Keep reading -- you're so close! :)

[Terry]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥You are on fire! Did you enjoy Hawkins book?

[Lynn, New School Classics]

Very nice job. You will have it finished soon.

[Shaina]

Carrie, like Terry said " Your on fire! ". Enjoy your last 4 Bingo reads.

[Sue]

Only 3 left, that's great Carrie! I see you read Julias Ceasar. That's my last one. I'm waiting for the Nov group read.

[Shaina]

Carrie, I really like the books on your list. Just 3 to go! I can't believe we are so close to the end of the year.

[Sue]

Congratulations Carrie! I see you are started on your last 2. I keep wanting to try a Jules Verne book. I want to start with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and other Classic Novels because of it's prominence in All the Light We Cannot See. I purchased it years ago but haven't got around to it. I need to put it on my Old & New for next year since you can't change those.

[Shaina]

Congratulations, Carrie! I plan to read All the Light We Cannot See (recieved my paperback recently) this month. I have already purchased the ebook for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea to read next year.

Hopefully, I can squeeze it into one of the challenges ;)

[Shaina]

I read Around the World in 80 days this year and enjoyed it. So, I think I should be ok 20,000 Leagues too. I won't know till I read it I guess.

I'm glad to know you enjoyed All the Light. I'm looking forward to it too.

[Bob, Short Story Classics]

I don't know what I would do without the library, but it is sometimes frustrating. Glad you are on your last one.

[Terry]

Congratulations! 🎉🎊🍾🎈

Thank you, Aubrey, for this powerful recommendation. I went ahead and purchased the Kindle book to finish this book. The library bo..."

Glad to hear this went well, Carrie. I'll be nominating either this or Larsen's 'Passing' during the next round of group read nominations.

Way to go, Carrie!! You did it! It feels great, doesn't it?!

[Bob, Short Story Classics]

Congratulations on the blackout!!
