Isn't it funny how one reader's pan is another's pleasure? _Song of
Solomon_ is my favorite Morrison book (though I haven't read _Paradise_
yet). I haven't had the opportunity to teach it, but it was one of those
benchmark books for me in college that opened my eyes to the world of
contemporary literature and all of its "wonders."

I know that _The Bluest Eye_ is frequently taught in AP courses, and
while I loved that book as well, I found it more painful to read than
_Song of Solomon_.
