I think my first novel was "If tomorrow comes" by Sidney Sheldon then Stranger in the mirror , The other side of Midnight, Besty by Harold Robins,. Read lots of pacesetters to. This is assuming Yoruba novels like Igbo Olodumare, Ogboju Ode et at are not counted.

COAL CITY, cant remember the author, was in elementary 5 then and there was a competition in the house on who would finish first. Would still be a compelling read  if i come across it again.

I have read loads of books but I think the first novel I read is ' The Passport of Mallam Ilia ' by Cyprian Ekwensi. It is a classic Nigerian novel and it is very easy to read. The book looks like a passport itself. I read the book the first time while I was in Primary four. I have reread several times since then. Someone told me recently that some American movie producers want to turn the book into a film. For me, The Passport of Mallam Ilia is it. Cheers.

Excellent novel, it painted an almost vivid picture of couples dealing with sickle cell disease.
