Finished 'Wao'...

There's a lot of history in there, and it's all told from the perspective of young Dominican man, so it's all very... flippant. There's a whole lot of, "If you guessed that Beli just ran away, listening to her abuela? Nigger, please." It made the history kind of odd to read, but it was remarkably well written.

The Oscar parts picked up near the end, and his death was really disheartening. I kept expecting it to be out of left field, or that he would give him his heritage and that would be his 'death'. But no, he gets murdered.

When I finished the book I just sat there for a few seconds and thought about it.

Recommend it.
