After reading the thread about novels you'll like to see in a movie, i realised that I've read "The lonely Londoners" four times over since secondary school and i can still pick it up again because all the West Indian and Nigerian characters are hilariously crazy. So, What novel(s) can you read over and again?

I remember The Potter's Wheel. It is written by Chukwuemeka Ike. I read it over 20 years ago (maybe even about 25 years). One bit stuck in my mind even till this day - that is where the wicked headmasters wife put a snake in the boys bed because he continually wet his bed. I will love to revisit this book again. |

Two thousand season's by Ayi Kwei Armah is a fantastic book. It takes all africans back to the place their navel was buried.
I also love works by the late Ousmane Sembene. Twas hard dropping God's bits of wood

It's a book on psychology kind of

1. Death Comes as the End - Agatha Christie. A compelling detective story set in ancient Egypt, in the home of mortuary priest Imhotep. I have read this novel countless times and will never hesitate to read it again. 2. The Great Ponds - Elechi Amadi Drives home the horrors of the deadly influenza epidemic of 18something (referred to as 'wonjo' in the book) 3. Figure it out for Yourself - James Hadely Chase Yeah, I know many will thump their nose on this but this was my favourite (okay one of 'em) book by Chase. Read it a billion times and never got tired of it. Well crafted tale of false accusation and avarice. 4. The 7th Scroll - Wilbur Smith 5. The Mayor of Castabridge 6. Beau Geste 7. Chaka the Zulu - T. Mofolo 9. Things Fall Apart 10. Sorrows of Satan - Marie Coreli 11. The Secret of Luca 12. She/Return of She - Rider Haggard 13. The Bride Price - Buchi Emecheta 14. Ukwa Ruo Oge Ya - T Ubesie (Igbo romance novel  ) 15. Juo Obinna - Tony Uchenna Ubesie (Nigeria/Biafra civil war era gut busting comedy) 16. Juju Rock 17 . No Longer at ease (Sequel to Things fall Apart) 19. Macbeth 20. Hamlet |

I vaguely recalled that she threatened to put the snake but don't think she actually did. I stand to be corrected though.
My favourites in Ike are 'Sunset in Biafra' and 'The Naked Gods'
