I want to echo the recommendation for Coetzee...I have read Waiting For
The Barbarians and Disgrace, and both are stunning, particularly the
latter. I am willing to bet the guy wins a Nobel in the next ten to
fifteen years. Best,
Graham

"If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read
some poetry and listen to some music at least once a week; for perhaps the
parts of my brain now atrophied would thus have been kept active through
use. The loss of these tastes is a loss of happiness, and may possibly be
injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character, by
enfeebling the moral part of our nature."
-Charles Darwin
