In my case, I'm a sucka for Charles Dickens, I can read any of his stuff again and again a zillion times. Tale of Two Cities, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, etc. However, to be particular, I read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte like ten times when I was in university. The original. Would still lap  it all up from page one to the end. You need to have patience to enjoy great stuff like that. |

I SO MUCH LIKE THE GODS ARE NOT TO BLAME BY OLA ROTIMI, A BOOK HE ADAPTED FROM ANOTHER BOOK CALLED AUDIPUS REX BUT THIS TIME IN AFRICAN/YOURBAS SETTINGS. WHAT A BOOK. I THINK I HAVE READ IT LIKE 12 TIMES AND CAN STILL RECITE MOST OF THE ACTS AND SCENCES OFF HEART. I ALSO REMEMBER WE ONCE ACTED IT ON THE STAGE DURING MY SECONDARY SCHOOL DAYS. I LOVE THAT BOOK. I CAN RECAL NAMES LIKE GBONKA,EFA PRIST,BABA FAKUNLE, OJUOLA, ETC

vividly, three books stand out: Lives of The Poets, by E.L.DOCTOROW. It is a book that i am still looking for words to describe, it takes you on a journey of discovery during which you either belt up or be pushed out and when you think you are almost losing your mind, it reconciles you to yourself, lands safely and bids you a painful farewell. The other one is Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley. It is a bold prophecy on the roles of reproductive science in the future of mankind. it presents what the world will be like in about six-hundred years from now. I came across the third one recently, it is titled, As A Man Thinketh, by James Allen. The book is a slim volume, just 7 chapters but it is a timeless classic!

The novel i will read over and over again is the one i got just yesterday, Saturday, July 26, 2008. The title is Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It is a motivational novel and it talks about understanding money. I never knew anything about money or how money can work for some one. It made me know that all I have been doing is to work for money and not money working for me. It is really a great book that i will recommend to anybody who is interested in making money.

Re: Which Novels Can You Read Over And Over Like The First Time?
« #16 on: December 19, 2007, 05:13 PM »
The Gods Are Not To Blame; what a book. Thats Ola Rotimi at his best. Never agan shall life make mockery of womanhood.
The play is an adaptation of oedipus rex by sophocles.Qouted staement by odewale himself.
Also a wedlock of the gods was written by Zulu Sofola if you have heard of her.
My fave books
Domain:James Herbert
When the wind blows:James Patterson
All Alex Cross series:James Patterson.The character in this books movies is played by Morgan freeman.
All John Grisham
Harry Portes series
Cujo:Stephen King
War and Peace:Leo Tolstoy
Left Behind Series:Tim Lahye and i think Jerry Something
