Most definitely! It's a beautifully written book - I enjoyed the story as much as the language. Of all the novels I read during Senior English in high school, this was by far my favorite. In fact, this was one of the works I analyzed for the senior paper.
The one thing I found interesting is that a lot of characters in the novel had very descriptive names - the one I remember best, of course, is Tea Cake.
Does anyone know what significance Hurston meant by those names? I'd be curious to know.
