[Belial]

Ya know, I read Invisible Man when I was quite young, and I was intrigued by it, although I didn't really understand it. I'd definitely like to re-read...this thread reminds me of that.

Only a few details remain in my memory: the guy in the basement splicing power cables for free electricity, and a scene where he leaves a drunk woman after writing "I've been raped by Santa Claus". Or something like that.

That scene near the end of the book with the drunk society woman (Sybil) was one of the dullest parts of the book for me. I just didn't see how she fit into the story. I guess he was initially trying to use her (to get inside information on The Brotherhood) but she ended up trying to use him for her bizarre sexual fantasies (evidently she had a secret desire to be raped).
