I would love to read the Danticat, and I'd also like to suggest Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. I haven't read it since early college and would welcome the chance to read it with a group again. Here's wikipedia's overview of the novel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_Man); beware plot details. It sells for just over ten bucks new on Amazon, but I'm sure you could find it at the library, in a used bookstore, or in digital or audio format.
