It's funny that you posted this - I was reading your list, and was going to add Cane River!! It absolutely blew me away!!

I've read Roots, Beloved, The Color Purple, Waiting To Exhale, and Having Our say-The Delany Sisters First 100 years from your list, and am currently reading Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl .
