This is a really great idea. (The community I mean.) Hopefully it will prod me to read some stuff by non-dead-white-males....
I read The Bluest Eye in college, as the final book in a year-long "Great Books of Western Civ" class, but I'm ashamed to say I can't remember anything about it except that it introduced me to the concept of Dick and Jane books (we didn't have them in New Zealand, or I didn't, when I was a kid) and contained lots of violence. I should give it a reread one of these days.
