Who's Your Favourite Author?

thanks for giving me the link, maybe that is why i detest nigerian movies tooooo

Oh, and Zadie Smith is an important new coming. Read White Teeth. It is amazing. She reps the Diaspora!

Mariama Ba of Senegal, she is my favorite writer

Funty:

All what you have to do is to 'google' the name, rather than resorting to profanities!!!

James Hardley Chase.

All the way. he his just to good

@Funty, I was ticked off when you wrote the 'h' word.

Her book was primarily about the position of women in the African society. Her first novel, So long a letter garnered accolades from literary experts and won the first Noma awards. That is perhaps the best novel that I have read. The novel was also voted as one of the best 12 African novels of the 20th century. I think it took the 2nd position, right behind "Things Fall Apart"


I also like Aminata Sow Fall. Nna, I really like Senegalese literature. Also like Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice. Its like any Victorian novels is ok with me. Today's novels, while good are sometimes filled with profanities and sexual deviances. Some novelist thinks it is ok to write the infamous F word in their novel, but would eschew mentioning the word in public, because it does not conform to societal standards? I say what a hypocrite!!!

 i also love john grisham and tom clancy but has anyone read any of nora robert works,apart from tnigeria that wrote purple hibiscus,nora roberts is also one of my favourite writers.

I like Sidney Sheldon, Danielle Steele, John Grisham and the list goes on…, but my favorite author of all time is JUDITH KRANTZ; author of Mistrals daughter, scruples 1 and 2, Lovers, Princess Daisy, I’l take Manhattan. She is so the bomb

I like chinua achebe,wole soyinka & oda write ups concernin our dear country in terms of political book like d civil war,reign of muritala & odas.u guys shld show case your country's authurs.im proud of them.al hail naija

@Gbade.I have not read "Born without a silver spoon", but it created some sort of a buzz during my days back home. Where can one buy the novel?

@ Ndipe:

if u're talking of buying online, then i don't know.
But then, if you jump ship to Naija, then book shops around u would have a copy of it.
