Thanks, backT, but I'm not really the religious type. Good luck to those who are anyway.

Robin Cook was a surgeon. His books are "medical thrillers".... mostly written in the 90's..... but as you read you would strongly believe he is telling about what is secretly happening in the medical field.
Thin Air.... is based on the Philadelphia Experiment in which Einstein and others were involved in a secret project for the US military to make their warships invisible. Don't ever start this book if you don't have time to complete reading.

Re: Please Recommend Any Very Good Novel You've Read Before by Originalsly: 6:21am On Apr 05, 2020
Just been browsing to recall the name of one of Robin Cook's novel only to find thus one! Thus I must buy and read.... sooo relevant...you should do the same.From the write up... this seems to be a follow up on Chromosome 6.

Nice one there, Originalsly.
Novels based on actual historical events are always a great read. You know the Godfather was also based on Puzo's experience with the five major crime families of New York? That's part of what makes a novel great, being rooted in reality.
Your rec is noted. Thank and keep lookin' up!

Depends on what kind of genre you like.
I'm an epic fantasy series fan; and I only read the absolute best.

My recommendation for you:
*Kingkiller Chronicles Series by Patrick Rothfuss*
Book 1 - The Name of the Wind.
Book 2 - The Wise Man's Fear
Book 3 - The Doors of Stone (unreleased)

I could list more, but I prefer not to leave you more undecided. Just start with this, and thank me later.

I can the softcopy of 1 and 2 for you if you need it.

Thanks for the offer, Lionhearted. I don't enjoy ebooks of anything at all. Especially with our peculiar environmental challenges.
Hard copies are usually more expensive, but they give you a certain sort of satisfaction and accomplishment when you go through it.

Thanks for the offer again, and please extend it to any forum member who would take it.
Cheers and keep looking up.

Hello
I would like people who read novels to recommend to me any excellent novels that they loved when they read it. I mean the type of novel you could not put down from start to finish.
Its needed to pass time during this period and occupy time during other periods when less busy. Recommendations should follow this format:
1. Title of novel and genre eg crime romance, fantasy, history etc
2. Where you bought it and price
3. Other novels you'll like to read and genre eg crime, romance, fantasy etc

I'll start
1. The Godfather by Mario Puzo (crime novel)
2. Ikeja, N1,000
3. The return of the godfather (crime novel)

Lothaire
Acheron
Comfort food
Maggys child
A rose in winter
The silver devil
Fear me
Return to Santa flores
Insidious
Master of the game

They are so many others.

If you want to enjoy pure adventure stories,go and read 'THE HOBBIT' and THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy by JRR Toilken.
It is the greatest epic and adventure stories of our time and no book is even close.

Hustle2flex, you're absolutely right. Literally nothing in the high fantasy genre comes close to LOTR series. I got it on Amazon, and have never regretted the purchase.
Where did you get yours in Nigeria?

Cheers and keep looking up.
Re: Please Recommend Any Very Good Novel You've Read Before by Hustle2flex(m): 3:35pm On Apr 06, 2020
I read the books from a local library 13yrs ago.i later downloaded the PDF files much later.If you read Silmarrilion,you will fully understand the how the whole story began.its a masterpiece.

Did the glare of the screen not affect your eyes? I already spend a lot of time in front of a screen, so anything that will add to that screen time is usually avoided. Its why I just buy the hard copies. But I admire your reading with whats available. Thanks and keep looking up.

Cheers!

Hmmm. Novels worth reading in one sitting:

1. Kane and Abel- Jeffrey Archer
2. Shogun- James Clavell
3. The Seven Minutes- Irving Wallace
4. When the Lion Feeds- Wilbur Smith
5. Uhuru- Robert Ruark
6. The Day of the Jackal- Frederick Forsythe
7. Dances with Wolves- Michael Blake
8. The Source- James A Michener
9. Roots- Alex Haley

And most of these books had equally great sequels.

You guys remind me of when I was a reader. I recently picked up Omerta by Mario Puzo to re-read, I couldn't get past a few pages.
I've read everything from Hardy Chase to Chinua Achebe, to Chimamanda to Cyprian Ekwensi to Ayi kwe Armah.
Anyways, good novels to read include
Omerta, Fools Die and the Godfather series all by Mario Puzo.
Almost all Grisham Novels are good.
All Sydney Sheldon movies are spell binding.
Kain and Abel is also an excellent read. I've read so much that I hardly remember again.

I love your past

Yeah, right? I've been trying to convince him to get back to his first love of reading, but I understand him when he says the stress of daily life preempts that. He's a good guy, he'll get back to it someday, perhaps if he starts getting important and interesting books to read.

Yeah right. Ive been inspired going through the thread. Its amazing.

Dan Brown's books, I tend to avoid. I'm not a religious guy, but it seems the guy always tries to destroy christianity with each new book. The damage he did with DaVinci Code is incalculable, but it made some peoples faith stronger.

Keep reading bro.

There are some apps that dim the screen or remove the blue light. You can get them on google play. Or your reader app will probably have night mode. Though I agree that hardcopy books are more satisfying to read.

By the way, shouldn't this thread be on literature section?
Re: Please Recommend Any Very Good Novel You've Read Before by talk2dre(m): 12:26am On Apr 08, 2020
I don't know if anyone can help me out.

When I was a kid, I read a novel about two villages. The two villages were battling for supremacy over each other. Then one village got to know of a tunnel that leads to a world of knowledge. They ended up sending some of their kinsmen there who later came back with great knowledge in different fields. Due to this new level of supremacy, they succeeded in subduing the other village.
So many pages of the novel (including the front and back pages) were already torn when I read it, and I don't know the title. I don't know if anyone have read a novel like that. I have asked around and no one seem to have read it. Αll I need is the title.

Please, kindly help out.
