Native Son by Richard Wright
My last book of the trip is Native Son by Richard Wright. I had a few Chicago classics in mind, but Native Son is most on theme with the rest of the "bookquest" books. I probably should have read it a long time ago.
The Seminary Co-Op Bookstore is well-known by University of Chicago undergrads. I always liked it as a student, and I still like to check out what books are required reading for the courses that students are taking. I'm probably biased, but I think it's selection is one of the best in the world. It skews heavy on classics, academic books, and books about Chicago, but it still has a good selection of contemporary fiction.
