Just read Song Of Solomon by Tony Morrison - amazing story-telling.

Seems like you and I got a brainwave to read women. Toni Morrison. Amy Tan.

And now Iran-born Azar Nafisi, whose memoir THE REPUBLIC OF IMAGINATION I finished reading a few minutes ago. This book came out three years ago. It discusses mainly three American novels: [1] "Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain, [2] "Babbit" by Sinclair Lewis, [3] "The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers. To a lesser extent Nafisi also gives her thoughts on "Go Tell It on the Mountain" by James Baldwin. 

In my reading experience, one book often leads to another. So, I didn't waste time to borrow a digital copy of James Baldwin's novel from my library just now. Will start it tonight.
