'Invisible Man' by Ralph Ellison
"Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat." This book has been on my reading list for a long time and I was so happy to finally get around to reading it. I bought an old copy (owned by the Stiegel family—whoever they may be) at an independent bookshop in Chicago called The Dial, combining my love for classic literature, old books, and independent bookstores.

'That Inevitable Victorian Thing' by E K Johnston
I hate to be sanctimonious about it, but it turns out that good conversation solved a great many problems. That Inevitable Victorian Thing, by Canadian novelist E. K. Johnston, tells the story of a world where the British Empire never fell and technology dictates whom the royal heirs may marry based on genetic compatibility. It's a world in a which Queen Victoria I recognized the political advantages of marrying her children to political leaders throughout the empire, not just in Europe, regardless of race and in which the more diverse your genetic makeup, the more desirable you are. Several generations later, the story focuses on the young heir to the thrown, Victoria-Magaret, posing as a commoner for her last summer of freedom before she comes on age and must enter in her adult career as the future Empress. She meets two friends who not only change her future, but may possibly change the world.
