I can imagine that this topic may not get a lot of attention.

Though i've not been reading as much as i used to, i found Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer very very hilarious. And i can read it a million times.
Also liked the pacesetter Sisi a lot while growing up.
Nyengi Koin was really good with The Second Chance
Wole Soyinka's Ake is also a must-read.

But as i said earlier, Tom Sawyer is arguably the best novel i've read.

I love books and am glad there are lots of people out there who do. Han any one read the complete Narnain chronicles from 'the magician's nephew' to 'the last battle'. Though I read them in junior sec, they still remain my favourite books.

I don't care what you believe. It is definitely a book.       Isn't the Bible also referred to as "the Holy Book"? Hmmmmmmm.
