Nah .. our own Ujsizzle is far too original to subscribe to that Jor
@Uj, you already have pre-orders o!

Nonso23:

Fine. As long as it accelerates your pen on paper.

Ishsoph:

Been seriously busy with work engagements dear

Have you seen that big head - Obayaya?

Okay o
But you should come around more oft and show us some love na
And make that money too

Pele, I thought as much.
It'll get better.

Haven't seen King Obayaya either.

I'm sure he's doing fine, prolly very busy.

Nonso23:


I guess I'm not weird after all. I ascribe voices to characters in books and even tunes to songs I don't know.
Its very hard to not like Chimamanda. She's a gifted writer. Pity it seems she's all for the money now.

Nonso23:

Not our Uj ...
The love of money is the root of all evil
Achebe was more exposed as to happenings during the war, the part the whites played and not forgetting that he had a more solid foundation in the core traditions of his people.
It would be a miracle if such a person sold out unless we are talking The Gates fortune.

Nonso23:

It's hard to pick a favorite. I think Americanah does it for me. I like purple hibiscus too, just that it's too sad. Half of a yellow sun is a good book too only that there are so many books out there talking about the 'war'. Americanah felt like her own story-a lot more relatable .

It is until you are really tempted you know what u r capable of

I wish uj well though

Nonso23:


A lot of people say the same thing too. I agree, Americanah isn't her best work so far. The plot and theme is what draws me in.
No I don't. I avoid short stories like a plague o. I don't know why. I trust it'll be good too.

Your last line: There is a line already. Do well to hold your spot

UjSizzle:

@emboldened. True.
I'm still the girl placing one half of her heart in a blog and the other in a diary though. We'll cross the tempting bridge when we get there
Thank you

Nonso23:

It's now ingrained. Even if I try to read them I'm sure I'll relapse as soon as I get one excuse.

carefreewannabe:


I love Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun.

I enjoyed reading Americanah but I was a bit disappointed too. I wouldn't consider Americanah her best one and not a literary masterpiece either. It is a very nice novel though.

Have you got her collection of short stories A Thing Around Your Neck? I loved this book, too.

I cannot wait for her next book to be released. I hope she is writing one.

Have u read wives of segi something by Lola Shoneyin

Nonso23:

I know certain friends of mine that read like robots o. They read and tell you the story. No life at all.
Now that you mentioned it, I just realized I type my posts in my voice and read yours in 'your' voice.

UjSizzle:



Oh and I love Chimamanda by the way. Read Purple Hibiscus and fell for her voice . It's more like loving the sound of her writing voice though....very human.

coogar:

UjSizzle:

You picked up on that

Yeah I have the book. Really good story telling.
