The book that I will be dedicating some time towards is called "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" by Junot Diaz. This book is definitely on the boarder line of being acceptable in schools due to some of its themes and vulgarity, but I can see dealing with that. Most importantly, I want to be able to personally read this book with a new mindset devoted to the Hispanic heritage. I know that the main character, Oscar, has a lot of things to offer the reader from comic books to his Dominican background. If you are real interested in a review, click on this link.
