After reading the thread about novels you'll like to see in a movie, i realised that I've read "The lonely Londoners" four times over since secondary school and i can still pick it up again because all the West Indian and Nigerian characters are hilariously crazy. So, What novel(s) can you read over and again?

Ivanhoe by Walter Scott or For Whom the Bell Tolls- by Hemingway plus most of the novels written by Ward Just

wole soyinka's interpreters. I must have read it like twenty times and it reveals something new every single time.

BTW where is that book

Scoundrels in uniform, i read it every three month

I can never be tired of reading the work of the Chimamanda Adichie Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow sun! Any Femi Osofisan drama also turn me on_ the prof is crazy with his art!

I remember The Potter's Wheel. It is written by Chukwuemeka Ike. I read it over 20 years ago (maybe even about 25 years). One bit stuck in my mind even till this day - that is where the wicked headmasters wife put a snake in the boys bed because he continually wet his bed. I will love to revisit this book again.

talking about th book,the ones that are so vivid to me are "ukwe ndi uka" and "ibes big head".

You are welcome

Two thousand season's by Ayi Kwei Armah is a fantastic book. It takes all africans back to the place their navel was buried.

I also love works by the late Ousmane Sembene. Twas hard dropping God's bits of wood

It's not exactly a novel but it's a book i can read over and over again. It's "Why U Act The Way U Do" by Tim Lahaye.
It's a book on psychology kinda

1. Death Comes as the End - Agatha Christie.

A compelling detective story set in ancient Egypt, in the home of mortuary priest Imhotep. I have read this novel countless times and will never hesitate to read it again.

2. The Great Ponds - Elechi Amadi

Drives home the horrors of the deadly influenza epidemic of 18something (referred to as 'wonjo' in the book)

3. Figure it out for Yourself - James Hadely Chase

Yeah, I know many will thump their nose on this but this was my favourite (okay one of 'em) book by Chase. Read it a billion times and never got tired of it. Well crafted tale of false accusation and avarice.

4. The 7th Scroll - Wilbur Smith

5. The Mayor of Castabridge

6. Beau Geste

7. Chaka the Zulu - T. Mofolo

9. Things Fall Apart

10. Sorrows of Satan - Marie Coreli

11. The Secret of Luca

12. She/Return of She - Rider Haggard

13. The Bride Price - Buchi Emecheta

14. Ukwa Ruo Oge Ya - T Ubesie (Igbo romance novel )

15. Juo Obinna - Tony Uchenna Ubesie (Nigeria/Biafra civil war era gut busting comedy)

16. Juju Rock

17 . No Longer at ease (Sequel to Things fall Apart)

19. Macbeth

20. Hamlet

I vaguely recalled that she threatened to put the snake but don't think she actually did. I stand to be corrected though.

My favourites in Ike are 'Sunset in Biafra' and 'The Naked Gods'

'Sunset at Dawn' - my bad!

Elechi Amadi - the concubine
Chukwuemeka Ike - The bottled leopard
Cyprian Ekwensi - Burning Grass
Enid Blyton - Mallory towers and Saint Clares.
