Books You Must Read!
« on: September 10, 2009, 09:55 AM »

HELLO EVERYONE!
I am Dunsin Ayeni (Emmandus).Familiar? well, we'll save the intro for later time. My hobby for reading led me to set up own little library and then about 4 months ago my own growing book centre.
IN SHORT. I KNOW A GOOD BOOK WHEN I SEE ONE!So, on this thread We will sensitize ourselves on life changing or impacting books we must all read or want others to read. And what happens if you have a difficulty buying it ,never mind because I can Only be a phone call away,

Have You Read ,Think ang Grow Rich by Napoleon Hills? If not you don't know what you are missing pick a copy at any bookshop-it's popular book and it won't cost you more than N500 anywhere.
Do you have a PC? Never mind then I can send you a PDF format of it free! Yes Free. at no cost,
Let's prove them wrong that "the best way to hide knowledge from a black man is to put it in a book" It's a blatant lie.

SO TELL US OF YOUR OWN MUST READ BOOK AND HOW TO GET IT.
TILL THEN <EXERCISE YOUR MIND, READ A GOOD BOOK TODAY!!

Novels by ARTHUR HAILEY  are very educative, entertaining and thoroughly researched. They are not easily obtained in bookshops in Lagos.
Maybe you can assist me in searching for where to obtain them.
His books are a MUST read for all lovers of knowledge. I have read these ones - The Money Changers, In High Places, Hotel, Overload, Wheels, Strong Medicine, Flight into Danger and The Final Diagnosis. 

He is the best novelist I have encountered - and I have read hundreds of thousands of books.

I agree with you - reading is it!

I'm glad to see James Michner here; I read " The Source" about 15 years ago, and have recently purchased a copy. Very deep and thought provoking book, even though its fiction.
Also recently read "The Wolves" by H H Kirst. (another one of the ol books that I found dusty in an uncle's home, 10-15 years ago)
