I am reading "BO:Dreams from my father" and I am almost done.I am now thinking about what novel to order next. This is where I need your help. Please recommend me a book.Any book that you love that changed your life and your view on things in a possitive way. I will be greatly appreciated.  |

I don't know the kind of books that interest you. But try The Color Purple by Alice Walker and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. If you like memoirs, Soyinka's You Must Set Forth at Dawn and Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings are pretty good too. |

| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by SeanT21(f): 4:03am On Apr 02, 2009 |
Remii: That is a funny titile.Give me the 411 about it?? |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by suprted(m): 4:32am On Apr 02, 2009 |
who moved my cheese- self help bullshyt that doesn't tell you anything you don't already know. |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by Sammy107d(m): 5:14am On Apr 02, 2009 |
Yeah I hate all em self-help "you can make it" "dreams of my father" crap! reiterating things you've heard a dozen times. I've also shunned fiction as it's incredibly time wasting. You read the same twisted stories in movies for 3wks! The vocabulary is not as useful cos it's mostly slang Read something that'll teach you about history, life, world politics n geography (something that could help you on a "who wants to b a millionaire" final question). . . I just read Mugabe by Andrew Norman- Eye opening. |

Try the "The five love languages" by Gary Chapman. It is a must read for couples & everyone that intends to travel the marriage path. Apart from that, it will help you to see how a man thinks & women too. Who move my cheese is good too. I read a piece where someone said it only talked about what we already know. My guy, it is not about knowing alone, but bringing yourself down to application |

I guess I'll have to write a book on my life and who knows it may be a bestseller? |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by FBS: 7:07am On Apr 02, 2009 |
depend on what you like but I'd recommend John Grisham-any and all of his books are bestsellers. |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by Em2va: 7:08am On Apr 02, 2009 |
Tommorow Never Comes, by Sydney Sheldon. |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by jidobaba(m): 7:35am On Apr 02, 2009 |
Am at d point where i despise fiction. I'd rather read a normal autobio- not all dis Obama, Clinton politically correct stuff- its mostly fiction of course. I enjoyed 'Angela's ashes'. Got it from a flea market at Palmgrove bstop! |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by Mashkov: 8:23am On Apr 02, 2009 |
Go get, 1. What is wrong with being black - Mathew Ashimolowo |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by DoubleN(m): 8:39am On Apr 02, 2009 |
Angels and Demons-Dan Brown |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by Suzanne84(f): 8:56am On Apr 02, 2009 |

| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by peeep: 9:08am On Apr 02, 2009 |
John L. Mason Motivational Books like The Impossible is Possible; An Enemy Called Average; Why Ask Why. |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by papagiddy(m): 9:27am On Apr 02, 2009 |
just try and read, "tough time never last but tough people do" |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by agboifo(f): 9:30am On Apr 02, 2009 |
"For One More Day" by Mitch Albom You will cry, or you will react, For me, I called my mum immediately after! |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by NeroPapas(m): 9:50am On Apr 02, 2009 |
Try The Big picture by Dr. Ben Carson. You'll love it! |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by Ibime(m): 10:27am On Apr 02, 2009 |
Get "Lords of the North" by Bernard Cromwell or any of the Viking trilogy by Tim Severin. Fascinating reads. Considering your backgroud, Ishmael Beah's "A Long Way Gone" should be top of your reading list. Any of the seven autobiographical books by Maya Angelou, starting with "I know why the caged birds sing" Or any book by our darling Chimamanda Adichie (Purple Hibiscus & Half of a Yellow Sun) |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by iice(f): 10:29am On Apr 02, 2009 |
Ibime: Yay! I got me a book to go find  |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by uchey(f): 11:05am On Apr 02, 2009 |
Try Cover Girls' By Bishop T.D Jakes, It changed my life. |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by alanrewaju: 11:12am On Apr 02, 2009 |
Lovely Books But Where in Lagos Can I get these books |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by Epiphany(m): 11:15am On Apr 02, 2009 |
Try Nelson Mandela's 'A long walk to freedom' and Alex Haleys 'Roots'. These are books i think EVERYONE should read at one time or the other, esp blacks! |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by Epiphany(m): 11:22am On Apr 02, 2009 |
Ibime: I am going to try this one. Hope its good. I am a fan of some historical novels too. Like Ken Follets 'Pillars of the Earth' and 'World without End'. There is another guy, Conn Iggulden's books on Ghenghis Khan and the young Julius Ceaser. Good books, good books! |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by lucabrasi(m): 12:14pm On Apr 02, 2009 |
Mashkov:itotally agree with this,very insightful book also read any paulo cohelo book but most especially the best seller" the alchemist", really life changing and you wont regret,there are numerous books you could read from fiction to non fiction,sci-fi biographies,poems e.t.c depends on where your interests lie before you can then proceed to get the books that tickle your fancy |
| Re: Recommend A Book For Me! by Udode(f): 12:28pm On Apr 02, 2009 |
Paulo Cohelo : The Alchemist No jokes as it has been said b4 - it is the best best best best best best best best best best, did I mention it already the BEST book ever! If you haven't read it - you can not imagine what this book is all about! and it is rather small and very easy to read, so you can stop your thread here, promise its worth it!!!! |
