https://www.goodreads.com/review/list..."Janice" (not our member here) has some 80 entries on a book shelf labeled South Africa. It seems a strange list to me -- includes a number of books from Tolkien for example that I don't think of as South Africa. She also rates low the books of at least a couple of well respected writers. But, I didn't want to lose the link, so I am posting it here.
