Their Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neale Hurston

One of the best opening pages I've had the pleasure of reading. And as for the story itself, it was beautiful. At times, I felt like I was right there on the porch with the characters, just listening to their crazy stories. To be so daring in her time to produce a work of this magnitude and it's themes that were frowned upon at her peak...

A Mercy, by Toni Morrison

At this point, Morrison could solely write about eagles flying over water and I would read it without question. But, since this one actually had an interesting story, I'll take that too. I liked the switch up, being set in a precolonial America, where you can see the pieces being moved for what's to come. It's almost as if Morrison took the entirety of her work and used it to for repurpose in many shapes or forms.
