"If I die Before I Wake"

Penguin Modern Classics

I've finished reading "If I die ....." by Sherwood King and really enjoyed it. It wasn't very long, just 150 pages, once I'd started I couldn't put it down.
I remember watching the film "The Lady of Shanghai" many years ago;the book reads very much like a film script. I remembered the story, but despite this, I still found the intrigue, suspense and betrayls between characters compelling and enjoyable.

I'm not sure that I will use "If I die ..." for my Book Cover assignment but it has rekindled my love of reading. Its been a while since I picked up a book and now I want to read more.

I bought a second Penguin Modern Classic yesterday.... Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. This is a much more substantial read and so far it has been quite harrowing...scenes of racism, violence and incest  but so well written; its another I'm finding hard to put down.
