A three-way tie? My favorite! :D
Still a long way to go though! :thumbs_up
I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch up..I have exams till Jan. 14th!
But I'll just nominate Disgrace...it seems like a good read.
JM Coetzee has a new book out and it appears to have many metaphysical ramifications:

''Diary of a Bad Year'' does appear to have a great many merits.
Oh come on... a 3 way split? Thats means I cant go looking foir the book till january ...grumble:(
I've heard great things about The Power of One as well. Should be good.
Going once...

Slow Man by Coetzee
I was just thinking, how come she could get nominated for South Africa? Daughter of a man and woman from Britain, born in Persia, moved to southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) and later moved to England.Quote:

It was obviously in error but the voting is well over now and Slow Man was selected so....
Yes, I know that. It was just something that I thought about before, because I am to read a book by Lessing now myself and wanted to look her up before I read. And so I got confused. :) That's all.Quote:
