Books - What are you reading?

Interested to know what you thought of Disgrace. I couldn't really see why it was being held in such high regard.

I didn't know much of the pretext, but I got fully immersed in it. I'm not all that literary minded, so I can't much judge the relative merits of books, but I was captivated. Obviously the post-apartheid context made it heavily politicised when it was published, he must have captured something which garnered so much attention. I'm reading waiting for the barbarians at the mo.
