Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs

Racist early 20th century pulp. Interesting as a historical or cultural document.

Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler

The ideological debate is simpler than it looks because of how deftly Koestler handles the psychology.

HHhH by Laurent Binet

Binet believes he can produce a more honest book by repeatedly calling attention to the artifice of his project. This, along with its weird title, makes HHhH "post-modern." Remove that conceit, and you are left with a rolicking boys' adventure story.

Life & Times of Michael K by J. M. Coetzee

A Foreign Woman by Sergei Dovlatov

Introduction, a satirical sketch of Russian emigre neighborhood in Queens, is excellent. Story, not so much.

July's People by Nadine Gordimer

Burger's Daughter by Nadine Gordimer

Would be interesting to compare this to The Book of Daniel. What else have I read about being the child of radicals? That has to be a fairly developed sub-genre.
