A lot a can't remember right now. Most not very popular
I spent all my money on novels back then. But all of a sudden I lost ALL interest. I think the love I found lately for Science may have been the cause. I still lament it. Now I just read non-fiction.

I only ever got to read one fiction book since 2006 - 'Keeper of the Children' by William Hallahan - more than once. Plus one mills n boons romance novel I can't remember the name of right now.

Btw, if anyone knows where one can download African novels, please do share. I have a 10 year old niece on my neck. I just can't meet her demand for novels.

I've read all and more. I have all of those tucked safely in a big box for my kids to read also.

Wish I could get ebooks. Only Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda you'll find online.

Haven't read any of those. I might have read the drummer boy online but I am not sure.

Did you read The gods are not to blame? If you did was it in primary or secondary school?

The Gods are not to blame used to be one of the African dramas to be read for WAEC and SSCE then for Literature in English in the 90s. I read it in 1997 doe my SSCE
