Okay I love reading novels also. Like: Dan Brown - The Da Vinci Code, Digital Fortress (that was especially good for us computer-cum-novel freaks), Angels and Demons. These books are hot from the beginning to the end. I decided to try Deception Point, but it was too boring. Dan Brown, what happened there? J K Rowling (though I guess that's not what we're talking about here) John Grisham has god a really good reputation also. I tried reading Street Lawyer, but it couldn't keep me goiong. Recently, I read an novel by Elizabeth George, titled "Well Schooled in Murder" and I tell you, the book is a killer. I don't know why she isn't popular yet. Read it if you can. Also, contrary to popular belief, I think Danielle Steel is BORING!!! Tayo |

Amy Tan. She wrote The Joy Luck Club, The Bonesetter's Daughter and some others. Her books are really good. She explore's the mother-daughter relationship quite a bit. Give her a try sometime. |

Has Anyone heard of - James Micheiner Alaska Texas - James Clavell Shogun Noble House Taipan Knig Rat Fredrick Forsythe Robert Ludlum and other espinage writers? Still can't come to pick up the recent authors, i'm hooked on the old generation. |
Re: Talk About Books You've Read, Authors you love e.t.c. by Nobody: 8:30pm On Dec 14, 2006 |
@nkechy, Sorry, but I don't think you'll actually find people who read Nigerian authors here. Except the REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY good ones, and I'm yet to come across someone like that. |

I've read quite a number of books, but my all time favourite is Francine rivers REDEEMING LOVE it is a wonderful book. I also like john grisham's "street lawyer" I've also read a lot of Frank Peretti's books. Then i really like Ngozi Adichie's Half of a yellow Sun and Ben Okri's Famished Road. |
Re: Talk About Books You've Read, Authors you love e.t.c. by profade1(m): 2:03pm On Dec 15, 2006 |
Francine Rivers ( the best) She wrote Scarlet thread, Redeeming love ( already mentioned), Leota's garden etc; Tess Gerritsen ; Gravity ( wonderful book), the Surgeon, Body double Chimaamanda Ngozi Adichie , she's Nigerian and she's good Pat Conroy, Prince of tides Just a few of the authors I enjoy. |
Re: Talk About Books You've Read, Authors you love e.t.c. by Nobody: 8:07pm On Dec 15, 2006 |
@GL Left behind series are popular in my school. But I've not found the courage to read them. @adaobee A friend game me Street Lawyer, but after some time I got bored. John Grisham doesn't keep you going the way Dan Brown does. @prof ade I think Purple Hibiscus is by Chimaamanda Ngozi Adichie (am I right?). I started it, but, due to circumstances beyond my control (school library stuff) I couldn't finish it. Tayo |

@nkechy, Sorry, but I don't think you'll actually find people who read Nigerian authors here.

I tell you, it depends on how the Nigerian literature scene is at that time. If it's really good, I'll stay in Nigeria and publish as Tayo Ajiboye. Else, I'll get out of the country and use a pseudonym. |

GOWER AND DAVIES' PRINCIPLES OF MODERN COMPANY LAW . It is a good book but it is full of typographical erors.It is probably the best book since the publishing of the Holy Quaran |

Hello everyone! I'm a fan of Dean Koontz. He writes wonderfully well. I recommend Phantoms and Whispers to everyone. If you read Dean Koontz, please let indicate. |
