anyone read Cyprian Ekwensi's Burning Grass? A very compelling read.

davidylan:

Most memorable books till date - Enid Blyton's St Claire's and Mallory Towers series.
I just couldnt get enough of those books. The day i got the last series for Mallory towers was a saturday, my dad had to beg everyone else to just let me be, i didnt sleep all night, i read the book everywhere . . . in the bathroom, while eating, doing the dishes.

Is Enid Blyton the Famous five series guy

Is Enid Blyton the Famous five series guy

yup, but she was female.

Jeez, I've been thinking otherwise for the past twelve years . Thanks for not making me go  disgracing myself.

The Word. . . . . .

can't remember who the author was, but it's the kinda thing a Dan Brown would'a written. . . . its about a man who conned the whole world and tried ridicule the whole xtian religious setup by writing on a number of ancient scrolls he claimed to be lost/missing, unaccou sections of the Holy Bible in an ancient, almost extinct language that only one man in the entire world could translate!
Gripping, mind-blowing stuff I tell ya. . . . if there's anybody out there who knows the book or who's got a copy, i sure would love to read it again. . . holla at me PLZ!

yes and enid blyton's books too! ;d :d

(1) The book of revelations and (2), Forest of thousand of demons aka 'igbo irun mole' translated by Eminent Professor Wole Soyinka. Because they compares favourably and even more authentic than the darkest of any perfect book.

mastermind.
a must for every intelligible mind

Dont mind me oh, i hate reading novels but of the lil that i have read i would say George Orwell's "Animal Farm"

the partner by John Grisham
I almost went mad, didnt want the book/story to end yet i was rushing it at the same time

Apart from the Bible that will stand the test of time, i like

"The Notebook" - Nicholas Sparks - it's a story of love and it's actually based on a true life story.

"Redeeming Love" - Francine Rivers - Hosea's Story brought back to life in such a way that anyone can relate 2 it

"Things Fall Apart" - Chinua Achebe - an epic

"Efuru" - Flora Nwapa -

kane and abel by jeffrey archer and windmills of the Gods by sidney sheldon simply blew my mind away

tell me your dreams by sidney sheldon

kane and abel by jeffery archer

My Life - Bill Clinton.
Jagua Nana's daughter- Cyprian Ekwensi.
The Gods Are Not To Blame- Ola Rotimi.
Why Pick On Me- James Hardley Chase.

Ive read a lot of books that I can't really remember all now. But the most touching books I ve read that always affect my life and make me think most times are:

No time for tears (I think by Niyi Osundare)

Lightling by Danielle Steel

With exceptional Regard and respect to the Holy Bible

just a line in the SCRIPTURE

and ye are gods, children of the MOST HIGH (Ps 82:6) .

and


a powerful psycho philosophical book " Letter to Gail " by Paul Twitchel

" that calm man who remains unchanged in the face of adversity and pleasure; whom all these does not move is able O SON OF BRATA 2 attain IMMORTALITY" [color=#990000][/color]
my guy it's bombing.

i guess memorable alludes to books u've read,probably lost but just cant seem to get out of ur head, my list would include

Danielle steel's Zoya- i definitely agree
John Grisham's A time to Kill

Antiochus 1V-
King Of Kings-
cant remember the authors of the last two books, can anybody help out, will also like to know how i can get them

The most memorable books i have read can not be quantified. i'll just mention those that come to mind.
By summers end pamela conti
Mark of the lion Triology Francine Rivers
Perfect Judith Mc Naught
I'll post more later

Danielle Steel knows how to cut accross the nevers with her writings,her books are always too emotional. U feel ur pulse when at it,sometimes the suspense and imaginations can be killing.

Zoya and Malice are one of d bombs
I cant also rule out the Chambers by John Grisham ,so memorable, it made me cry

Seems all of u have no literary mind! for why listing memorables writers without MAIK NWOSU, a nigerian writer/poet based in the US. Not even shakespear boast of his ingenuity!

SOMOLU BLUES andANGELS AND DEMONS

The 48 Laws of Power - Robert Green, The Man - Irving Wallace, The R Protocol - Irving Wallace, My Life - Bill Clinton and All the books by Fredrick Forsythe

Forgive me, but i cannot narrow it down to one! and i don't think i've even read a tenth of the books that will leave a lasting impression on me, but here goes,

Angelique, Marquise of the angels, this book is that BOMB!it's by Serge and Anne Golon
Memoirs of a Geisha
The Godfather by Mario Puzo, is perfection!
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, could read it over and over without taking breaks
Journey to the centre of the earth, Brilliant!
"The Idiot" by Fyodr Dostoyevski, wow
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, words cannot describe! it was the first "serious" book i read
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, too much of a classic to overlook!

Then theres this trilogy that breaks my heart,the books are
A boy called it
The lost boy
A man called Dave

i swear, you cannot read that and remain the same person.

and Maniac McGee, cannot remember who wrote that one, but the way it talks about innocence and racism is just remarkable

and another trilogy, the His Dark Matters trilogy
The golden compass (this is the new name)
The amber spyglass
The subtle Knife.

that trilogy helped me appreciate the whole fantasy genre

and then there's Ted Dekkers "the circle" trilogy. Black, Red and White, and Blink By ted Dekker too

I'm sure i've left out a book or two, but all the above, brilliant stuff, brilliant!, i know it looks like a lot o.but they are all dear to me mehn!

animal farm.

Race Matters, By West, Cornel

i can easily have mine as 'all john grisham legal thrillers'.


1-A time to kill (brought tears to my eyes)
2-The Chamber
3-The run away jury
4-The testament (kool)
5-The patner
