That's one of the best American books out there, IMO.

If you're talking about Invisible Man, no. No it's not. The style is pretty much awful and the book doesn't belong in any curriculum past middle school.

^How is that? I've had that book in my hands several times, both at a bookstore and at the library. I've never read Lamb. Worth my time?

Honestly, it was a little tedious in spots but so worth the read. Other books I read by him were "She's Come Undone" and "I Know This Much Is True", the latter was exceptional.

How did you like LoF binge?

I read the intro but stopped to read From Poverty to Prosperity, which you might enjoy given LoF.
