The cover (skinny dog on wasteland) has always put me off, that and the South African setting.

No, it feels wrong to score it when I read it so long ago. Probably wouldn't go higher than 4 or 5 as I found it a hard read though.

I have finished Disgrace. I shall compose myself before adding my comments. I am giving it an 8: smooth transaction, excellent book-choice, would recommend.

About This Thread

Maintained by McGoohan
Ooh ooh ooh Disgrace
Satin and perfume and lace
The minute I saw your face
I knew that I loved you

So sang The Tymes in 1974 with their only UK number one.

In 1999, that song was turned into a prize-winning novel by J M Coetzee. Probably.
