What does /lit/ think of Invisible Man? I loved it.

I had the original idea for an xbox gamertag using this same play on the invisible i's by placing spaces in their place "Inv s ble when I was younger. It was taken. So I suppose not entirely original. Heh. . .

when i was a kid i went to blockbuster with my dad to get a movie. i came across this movie called "the invisible kid" and showed it to my dad. for some reason i started lying my ass off and making stuff up about the movie that even i believed as i said it, saying it was a prequel to the famous "invisible man" story and so on. "this is the story of him when he was a kid," i said. i hadnt even read the back of the box, i was just pulling this from nowhere. so he got it for me and that night i watched it in the den alone while he was upstairs in the computer room working. turns out that even though the movie was rated pg there was quite a lot of nudity in it, including a scene where the invisible kid, who was a high-school kid, infiltrates the girls' locker room where the girls are all standing around topless. i was in a tough spot. i could easily just not tell my dad that the movie contained nudity, but if he ever found out, he'd think i knew about the nudity all along and tricked him. so what i did was i rewinded the movie and watched the locker room scene a few times, then i stopped the movie and went upstairs. i went to the computer room, where my dad was, and told him that the movie had nudity in it and i stopped watching it and came up here to tell him. he said thanks for telling me, and that's my story.

It's good. Very good for American lit. It's a shame stuff like To Kill a Mockingbird is taught in schools over something like this

I found it incredibly boring, especially towards the end. Would not have read it if i didnt have to for class

Agreed.

It's too black sounding for me.

Yeah, but in all fairness this is a way more difficult book to grasp, the chapters are huge, the narration is all over the place, and the main character never has a name. It would confuse the shit out of high school kids, not to mention all the weird sex romps the narrator gets up to.

I've just read the "Battle Royal" chapter for a class, want to go back and do the rest of it at some point. Very good metaphors.

Your diary is pretty good, desu. I want more.

Excellent novel about alienation but it's a black guy so it's shit
