I read about 3 to 4 books at any given time. Right now, i'm very into Nigerian authors, so i'm reading Chimamanda Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun, Kaine Agary's Yellow-Yellow and Helon Habila's Waiting for an Angel. waiting on the queue are: Wole Soyinka's memoirs- You must set forth at Dawn, Buchi Emecheta's Second-class citizen and iJohn Avanzini's 30-fold, 60-fold and 100-fold Christian. And oh, how could i forget dear old Robert Greene, i've read most of his titles- Art of Seduction, 48 Laws of Power, but i look forward to reading them again. The principles therein, are even more true and potent today, than ever before.

The Varieties of Scientific Experience- Carl Sagan
The Blank Slate- Steven Pinker
East of Eden- John Steinbeck. This one still refuses to engage me. Just plodding thru. The same author wrote Grapes of Wrath, which stunned me senseless, so mebbe this'll 'hook' me later.
Why are people so into Greene's 48 Laws of Power? You won't read too far before it's obvious it'll translate you into an amoral, unscrupulously manipulative narcissist.

Just got my hands on Dan Brown's Digital Fortress. I hope it makes another gut-churning read like his Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code.

Just finished Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth; wasn't bad, wasn't bad at all  Downloaded an e-copy of the sequel, World Without End; ain't bad so far neither. Off-topic, anyone seen Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (the movie)? Its supposed to premier today. Sure hope its better than the book. Ok, the book wasn't so bad, but. . . . heck, it was bad!  |

just completed THIS PRESENT DARKNESS-a superfiction
I absolutely loved that book! Its a christian novel, and i was sorta dubious at first (thought it was gonna be filled up with religious ish  ) but mehhn, i was bowled over. See angels and demons fighting mortal combat - shege!! And then that part were the girl (forgotten her name) finally gave her life to Christ . . .  really, i was moved to tears . . . ok, nearly moved to tears.  But for a while after that i was a really good christian - really! |

I must be getting old or sumfin, mixing up novels like this. Actually it was the sequel that i read first, Piercing the Darkness - that's one the i luved! I read This Present Darkness after that, wasn't bad shaa . . . . but i wouldn't call it scary - except for that possessed kid who keep screaming curses and generally terrorizing her mum - Amethyst or sumthing. But still i wouldn't call it scary. Say, how old where you when you read tha book tpia? |

I am a HUGE fan of Fantasy and always ready to sink my teeth into any new fantasy book (prefarably series) i come across. I dabble into other genres here and there but eventually, go back to good old fantasy. I read the hugely popular Twilight series a while back (before the movie was released). after that, I read My sister's Keeper by Jodi Piccoult (an excellent book if i can say so myself) which was released in cinemas in a few days and i am presently reading Eldest which is the sequel to Eragon (which was made into a movie some years back) and part of the Inheritance trilogy (which i hear is now going to be 4 books). best of all, it is Fantasy. when that's done, i'll pick up Brisngr which is d third in the inheritance trilogy and since book 4 is not out yet, when i'm done with that, i'll see how it goes.

First the book was good, then it was really good, then it became bad, and then really bad - that's where i am now. Hope for his sake it gets better b4 i finish it 42. Like you really wanna know I read Ken Foley's Pillars of the Earth and never quite got around to checking out his other work. Very steamy, lots of workable material and started well, I must say. But I kept losing track of the main themes due to the "heated dialogue". Though I understand why its considered a bestseller sha. it does sound rather like what you just typed howeverThen too, I like medieval historical novels. |
