Thanks for your comment - I need to catch up with Coetzee's latest books - all of which I have. I'm soon to retire so I'll have more time.
I like the photograph on your page - and the town in the background. I feel I should no where it is, but I don't!
Very best wishes,
Peter

I'm sure you'll like it if you like those more well-known books. By the way I recently learned of an even earlier dystopia novel which I have not yet read, Lord of the World by Robert Hugh Benson.

To be honest, I think Hari Kunzru is much better :)

I'm currently reading Never Let Me Go and definitely share your enthusiasm for it. I loved The Remains of The Day too. If you've not already read Margaret Atwood, I'm sure you would enjoy The Handmaid's Tale and Oryx and Crake, both of which are well written dystopias.
Why not have a look at the Book Nudgers group and see if you would like to join in. You would be most welcome.
Happy Reading! Kevin (dylanwolf)

Sadly, I haven't. I think it aired the year I was born, heh.
