A Certified Important Book you still haven’t read: “War and Peace” by Leo Tolstoy. It’s ridiculous that I haven’t read it, because it was the book my father was reading when he chose to name me Natasha.
A classic that, upon rereading, disappointed: “Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison. Don’t get me wrong, it’s such an important book, and the last lines of it are so wonderful, but it’s not exactly an enjoyable read.
