Yes, you read that correctly - I am FINALLY done with Invisible Man. It has taken me way too long to read this book, and it is certainly not because the book is not good. Just life getting in the way.
Anyway, I really did enjoy the book, and the most important "truth" that I got out of it is to be true to yourself. The protagonist spent most of the novel trying to become who everyone else thought he should be - it was only when he sloughed them off and listened to his own mind that he became comfortable in his own skin. That was when he realized that "even an invisible man has a socially responsible role to play." In other words, we must all contribute to the society in which we live, even if at times we feel like we are fighting an uphill battle.
