If you havnt read Atlas Shrugged I highly reccomend it. Its a bit long at just over 1000 pages and the first 150 or so is scene setting. But once I got into it I couldnt put it down.

Deon Meyer, one of the new best South African writers. He writes in afrikaans but some of the books are translated to english.

I read the predecessor first (which I loved), and then Atlas Shrugged (which seemed to re-hash the same things, but *more*, *repeatedly*). I wanted to set fire to it. If I could get those hours back, I would. Aside from that, it wasn't too bad :)
