The Ruscha book was a gift from my friend Bonnie (hardcover, signed by the artist!) and one of the nicer ones I've ever received. At this point, probably the one book I would grab in a fire.
Coetzee's Disgrace and Waiting for the Barbarians are two of the best novels I've read in a long, long time, and the only two titles on the list that I'd unreservedly recommend to anyone who's reading.
