What about a shorter book, perhaps one of Coetzee's little gems? I  
just bought "Slow Man", but any of the others would be fine. Given the  
literary level of the list, a reading of "The Master of Petersburg"  
might be interesting or we could read one of his early novels and one  
of his latest as a comparison of changing style and politics. No, I am  
not writing a paper on Coetzee and looking for help. <smile> I haven't  
read either of his first two, "Dusklands"  or "In the Heart of the  
Country".
