I have read americanah. that book left me learning a lot of lessons and I can say it is worth reading over and over again. #fortheloveofbooks. |

Sleekyshuga: anytime. I knew you would be interested in a thread like this. |

Obinoscopy: Wow. awesome review. You've made my mental picture of the plot and style of writing clear already without having read the book yet. I think that's how Achebe wrote too in his later years. Anthills of the Savannah similarly has this complicated switching of plots when he wanted to take us down memory lane. Thanks. #fortheloveofbooks 1 Like |

Re: Nairaland Book Club For Book Lovers by MidasTouche01(m): 7:10am On Aug 02, 2016 |

Finished Chapter Two (which concludes Part One). I don't want to jump the gun here but I have the feeling the novel will be centred around Ifemelu and Obinze. I'm guessing Obinze will re-awaken the love between both of them despite the fact that he's married to Kosi.......fingers crossed. Jotted down some words I need to look up in my oldfashioned Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary 7th Ed. (I'm so attached to that dictionary). The words include: gothic, hectoring, melded, eponymous, histrionics, augury, frisson, languorous, colonnaded, sequinned, etc. I might be tempted to say Americannah has lots of "polysyllabic words" as Femi (a cast in the novel) would say, but all in all I still maintain my position that Chimamanda uses simple day-to-to words. #ForTheLoveOfBooks 3 Likes 1 Share |

Obinoscopy: I just finished chapter one, i love the way she ejects humour into her work but i think some words are better used in their simpler forms. I also underlined some new words, on a second thought I think it is good she used those grammars because they are educative #ForTheLoveOfBooks |
Re: Nairaland Book Club For Book Lovers by Obinoscopy(m): 6:47pm On Aug 02, 2016 |
bibijay123:Yea, she sure does have a good sense of humour. The part where she said Obinze became intoxicated (high) by peppersoup in Chaper Two got me laughing. I never knew one could get high with peppersoup . Yea, those grammars are educating. Learnt a few words and figurative expressions thanks to Americannah. #ForTheLoveOfBooks |
Re: Nairaland Book Club For Book Lovers by bibijay123(f): 6:57pm On Aug 02, 2016 |
Obinoscopy: Loool. High on pepper soup? I think what makes one a good writer has much to do with how you can play with words. Hope to get to that stage someday. Going back to chapter 2. #ForTheLoveOfBooks |
Re: Nairaland Book Club For Book Lovers by Obinoscopy(m): 7:11pm On Aug 02, 2016 |
