Their Eyes Were Watching God
Danny Says
While the book exceeds my loosely-enforced 200-pages-or-less rule, it is one of those books that I was required to read that actually pleasantly surprised me. Hurston is masterful in her story-crafting and dialogue, and this book makes it evident why she is considered one of the most important African-American women authors of the Harlem Renaissance (which does not refer to the signing of Meadowlark Lemon by the Globetrotters).
