Ralph Ellison SUX!!!!!!!!!

So Invisible Man is just about the most obnoxious book I've ever read. It is the most ham-handed, clumsy excuse for prose to lay claim to the title. I bet Ralph Ellison thought he was so cool, writing with all his symbolism and his clever allegories for racial oppression and the battle for social equality. He's not.

I just wanted to share my opinion with all of you.

you say this as if it matters.

Oh, I guess you're right. I'm probably just mad because you get to read.

And you read The Clique.

Ah, excellent, so I wasn't delusional after all...! Invisible Man wasn't exactly my proverbial cup of tea, either. :O)

Aw, I've only read the first two chapters (don't ask), but I liked Invisible Man.

I must disagree. Invisible Man is a great novel, the only realist novel that I read without feeling an urge to kill myself in the process.

Thank you for that, Mac. You make me smile.
