Used to be an avid novelist growing up. Would finish a 500 page tiny print in days. But see ehn, as the going got tough, I had to gradually drop fiction for reality.
Now I am continuously faced with tonnes of professional materials begging for attention.
So let's say I'm on sabbatical from novels till I retire from this hustling profession

BeenieB:
I got 2 damaged deep freezers filled with books especially crime,detective, law and drama.

Need more

Bukunming:
Please, which state are you? I need to borrow from you.

akpakoboy:

How do i reach you? Need those books.

Have lost count i am an avid read from an early age, i remember when i was writing jss3 resiting exam on mathematics instead of read my.notes i was busy reading a novel in the hall. Most of my collections are Hardley chase, Pacesetters, John Grisham etc. Till date i still read and buy.

ephi123:


I just finished a Hadley chase (Strictly for Cash) yesterday, the guy is a MASTER writer!! Gosh. Took about 2 weeks to read it but last few days I couldn't put it down till I finished. In my opinion, he beats Grisham and Sydney sheldon hands down.

Besides fiction, I've read a few other books. The guy on Channels book club always ends the programme saying "One great book can change your life" I totally agree with him.

CarlosTheJackal:
Strictly for cash was my first Hardley Chase book i read.

nmreports:
I used to have over 250.
I was an addict.
Some of the ones I still have:

Stephen King, my favorite

Ishilove:

Lol. I have no reason to lie. I finished John Grisham's The Odyssey File at age 9, and then on to James Hadley Chase and Agatha Christie!

ephi123:


Oh cool, it's a great book, the suspense was something else, I kept wondering how it will end.

Snow84:
I have read up to a hundred novels, but I never used my money to buy any of them. Truth is that when I was a novel freak, I could boast of no kobo of my own.

Now if everyone is like me, writers will make reasonable money only from awards.

What about you?

With the advent of ebooks, I don't buy anymore..

But before then, I own a handsome number of Agatha Christies, James Hardly Chases and John Grishams.. All bought between the prices of 300 and 500..

If you figure in the ebooks, Clive Cusslers, Michael Crichtons, Stephen Kings, Dan Browns, Ken Folletts and Dean Koontz are populat authors in my vast collection.

I downloaded all last two years and I'm yet to read all.. Lol

Maxymilliano:


Odessa File by Frederick Forsyth you mean ?

happyheart:

Without bragging, I will say that I have read over 5000 novels since Jss1. It can even be more. I read at least a book a week. Sometimes as much as 3 books. I stay up nights to read novels. I read in the toilet and I read when eating. Terrible habit..lol but I am officially addicted to books.
I don't read love/romance books..
My latest book crush is Clive cussler but alas I have read all his books..
I have given so many books away,I remember I once had an agreement with a book seller to exchange 3 books for 1 new one. I went with 60 books and came back with 12 books...lol.
I don't read books online, I prefer hardback.
Anyone interested in having a couple of books can DM me. I will be in Lagos 1st or 2 nd week. Lagos residents only. Accra residents too. Anyone interested in getting free books, pls pm me.
I have made random friends cos I see them reading books.I can get down from a car/bus before my bus stop cos I saw a book stand.
Growing up ,mum used to beat me for reading novels too much!!! Lol.. I was always curled up reading. My bro was also addicted. I remember mum banging on the toilet door and screaming for whoever was in there to bring out that book..lol
I even took novels to church on Sunday and pretended I was reading the bible.
My first boyfriend bought me a mag and s novel..lol
I always create time to read a book.
I always buy my books.
Is there any ADDICTED bookie out there?

CarlosTheJackal:
Was it Odessa File by Fredrick Forsyth you are trying to write because i can't recall any Grisham book by that name

DesChyko:


Aldiko.
But I downloaded the books from a site I've been struggling to locate again.

I see you're a Clive Cussler fan.. Other than Dirk Pitt series, any other books?

Here's a view of some of them in my collection.

CarlosTheJackal:
I doubt if she knows that Grisham was a late 90s writer unlike Forsyth who is the real Day of the Jackal

BeenieB:


Lol, give me I give you! Lagos

Bukunming:
Bingo! I'm in Lagos too, I stay at Ogba. You nko?

Maxymilliano:



Is that where you derive your moniker or from the movie THE JACKAL featuring Bruce Willis and Richard Gere Lol ...

Ishilove:

Oh really? Someone, a professor, got blown to bits early on in the story. If it is same then it is the Odessa File. I was pretty young so I may have mixed up the names
