It's good to know that some Nigerians still read. I thought a thread on books will have very few replies. I was really surprised and impressed.

As for me, I love reading success-motivating books and spiritual books. I love positive philosophy and psychology-inclined books. I love books by Zig Ziglar, David Oyedepo, Tim Lahale, Napoleon Hill, etc.

On the laws of life, I highly recommend that you read The Secret[i][/i]. If you are not superstitious, you will enjoy it.

Keep up the good work folks. Together, we will rule naija.

newspaper, biography, and inspirational book

I used to read strictly romance bks bt nw i ve started reading inspirational bks such as Earn what you are worth and the rest of it.
I have also gone back to reading my biology, chemistry, gmat and d rest so dat my brain doesnt bcom redundant. Who knows where to download soft copies of books for free preferrably in pdf.

any thing 4rm Tom clancy will do

philosophical essays, aphorisms, facts behind figures & The Bible are my choices 'cos they add values to my life

How To Books

I also love reading cereal,beverage,soap n cream packets. Especially Milo containers

Meeeeeeeeen!
I've read tons in this my little life and it seems as if i've not even started.

From reading almost all the James Hardley Chase titles in secondary school, i graduated to non-fiction;

Spirituals, Motivationals, Positive Psychology, Autobiography/Biographies.

I've read mostly from these authors

Hardley Chase
Napoleon Hill
David Schwartz
Dale Carnegie
John Maxwell
Jim Ron
Robert Kiyosaki
Jack Welch
Donald Trump
Norman V Pearle

Two titles from these authors; Power of Psitive thinking(pearle) and 7 strategies for wealth and happiness(Ron) made massive impact in my life, infact my life got a real quantum leap after applying those principles they espouse. Thats off course after the master of all books, THE BIBLE!

I can spend hours poring over them, especially when im metting the silence treatment 

can imagine how the recipient of the silent treatment would feel

I just read a book "The Prayer of The Frog 2" by Anthony DeMello, a catholic mystic. There is a short story in the book that tells of the hazard of reading blindly. A woman couldn't fix setup an electric fan after using the manual, she decided to take break. Upon her return, her illiterate maid had fixed it perfectly. "how did you do it she asked?" "well" the maid replied, "since i have not learned to read i am forced to use my brain."
this is not a moral on just blind reading but generally on shortsighted education. Peace  

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^i like!

mine is Cultural books

Are you for real ? All you guys actually read the books you claim to read ? I bet you guys spend more time online !

i so agree. after im done wit nairaland, facebook, nigerian village square, sahara reporters, thisday online and sometimes twitter , im usually fagged out. read book again? how now!

WHEN I'M NOT READING FOR EXAMS, I PREFER TO READ BOOKS THAT WILL ENTERTAIN ME. TO BE ENTERTAINED, I NEED TO BE RELAXED. THAT MEANS I ONLY READ BOOKS THAT REQUIRE A MINIMUM LEVEL OF CONCENTRATION TO UNDERSTAND. IF U ARE CONCENTRATING TOO MUCH ON SOMETNING, U ARE DEFINITELY NOT RELAXED.

THAT EFFECTIVELY PUT MOTIVATIONAL BOOKS AND NONFICTION BOOKS OUT OF THE COMPETITION. GIVE ME CRIME, SCIENCE FICTION, MYSTERIES ETC ANY DAY.

BUT I MUST ADMIT THAT 4 MY OWN PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, I'M SERIOUSLY TRYING TO FORM THE HABIT OF READING MOTIVATIONAL BOOKS.

P.-o.-r.-n, Programming, and Web development books!

last book i read was Tortoise and Yannibo and other stories, Without a silver spoon and Efunshetan aniwura in yoruba class JSS1. so yeah i hate reading but i might buy christian books when i'm older tho never say never

Boy! Grisham is the bomb. Anything detective, adventure, thrillers and clasicals. But i passionately dislike romance. It doesn't freak me

Yes wavemasta To think that those Avg frustated chumps alias AFCs were shelling $1500 for mystery's live workshops - to sarge in clubs, bars and just about anywhere u can meet and pick up women etc - shows you the extent we men will go through to get game. More remarkable though is Neils near total transformation from AFC to master Pick up Artist and mystery's main wing man in just over a year and a half.
Far from being just a book about pick up I found the story therein very inspirational, resonating mans undeniable ability to rise above his own inner fears to be whoever he wants to be in the world - be it a better teacher, a better Parent, or better community leader as long as you remain dogged and resolute in your commitment to self development. A must read for self help buffs.
