Novel Recomendation - Kindred

​This book is one that's very familiar to SLA students because we all read it in our freshman year. Like most students, I read it, and loved it. To a person who is very interested in America's dark past, Kindred gives you the chance to feel experience something you wouldn't get from any other book or movie. 
As I read, I imagined Kindred on the big screen. I thought that if someone (preferably myself) could turn Kindred into a film, it would be one unlike any other. 
I could ramble about Kindred for a long time, but I guess this is supposed to be short. In the breifest of summaries, any movie can make you see and hear slavery, but Kindred makes you feel it. Somehow, author Octavia Butler captures the brutality of slavery, and squeezes it into words for us to experience. 
This book is beyond fantastic, and if you haven't read it stop what you're doing, and run, don't walk, to the nearest book store and do not leave until you've finished reading it.
