How my reading has gone so far

So far, I've been enjoying the book I've been reading. It's different from what I expected, but it still has kept my interest. The main character is invisible, and he believes that this is not something that has happened supernaturally, but rather something that has happened due to people's refusal to take awareness of his existence, and this because of his color. This brings up one of the major themes in the book, racism. The invisibility the author goes through is triggered by the stereotypes assigned to him. People do not take the time to learn to know him for the person he is, instead, they believe his color defines him. My hope for the end of the book is that the invisible man meets a person who grows to know him for the man he really is, a person who will sense his existence, despite his color. At that point, that person might change the turn of the invisible man's life. The invisible man might become visible, not only to others, but to his own self as well. I think that at the end of the novel, the invisible man will end up noticed for the person he is, and not for his color and all the stereotypes that have grown to define his person.
