If I had to pick one, I would make the same choice.

Why haven't you read "A Thing Around Your Neck?" and "Americanah"?
Both really worth reading but I enjoyed the first one even more.

Silkmoth33:


U mean D narrator voice "kambilla's voice"? It was of a frightened little girl oh! I felt for her! I don't recall any amiable event that happened in the book sha.

ladygogo:

kai!! you have issues!

cant you see that my list is in two batches.

Good husband materials and bad husband materials.....

IrishKez:


No, the lifting is not in sight

How was your day dear
You've been quite scarce, and I must add you were missed

KingTom:

Nna ehn odi so strong. and ukwu umunwanyi NL were weight

Nonso23:

3 people recommending short stories now.
I may try out Amanda's 'the thing around your neck' just to be sure i'm not missing out on anything but i really doubt i'll be converted. I love the heightened anticipation, suspense and adrenaline surge a few hundred pages can create too much.
Btw, you read 'The Famished Road' by Ben Okri?

UjSizzle:

No. Chimamanda's voice. She's the one who infuses her characters with personalities of her choice, so it's basically her voice still.
I could a read a book by her and recognise it as one of hers without seeing her signature. That's what a voice does.

Silkmoth33:



Hm! what do I even know about the literary world.

MizMyColi:


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:

In other words, there are two authors: The original one and the reader. Hmmm.

I did the same too with no success until a friend borrowed an aged copy from a public library. Super brown, super used and super fragile.
I came across a 'free' pdf copy much later. I don't know if i still have it.

Ishsoph:


Yeah I'll try my best henceforth, it's not all the time that one is been missed around here by a beautiful grammarian

Sure, it can only get better, and thanks for the prayer sweets.

Leave obayaya I know how/where to get him once am in serious need of him. He also knows

He has joined them too.



I was going to ask if you've met a particular lady on here, but never mind

Thanks for those accolades btw

Do say me well to him when he's around.

Nonso23:

Honestly, It's frustrating but when you've searched the ends of the earth for a particular novel even if it is written on papyrus you'll settle.
I wasn't a fan of e-books until it dawned on me that i had very few options in that regard. I'm slower and i do get dry eyes once in a while but i'm getting used to them.

I only read classic novels on recommendation. I always think it'll have something to do with princes and knights and damsels in distress. Sentimental much.

Nice books.. i have not read A Tale of Two Cities and 1984 though ive watched 1984
Set the tune for our Hunger Games and Divergence movies

Nonso23:

1984 - Unread.

Animal Farm - I gave the song 'Beasts of England' when i read the book.

Count of Monte Cristo - Unread.

Oddysey - Read (hope it's the same oddysey i know)

Tale of Two cities - Read

Oliver Twist - Read
So these are classics?
*Facepalm*.

Thanks

UjSizzle:

The first is by Charles Dickens.

1984, yeah it did. Orwell was thinking about the soviet union when that book was written, though it wasn't published the same year and garnered a lot of criticisms (for obvious reasons). This writer sure loves satires.
