Hmm lets see where to begin.

during the days of hard cover i read some of
Michael Crithin
Jeffrey Archer
John Grisham
Stephen King
Dan Brown
Tom Clancy


Books i could find, You should se my family way back in 04 we had books coming out of everyones ears, were we would sit behind my elder bro and in lantern light read with him.

Now as i said that was the age of Hard Cover,
We moved to soft copies in 08
epub,mobi,lit and txt format books

And LO the world of novels opened before us.

Will never forget the day my bro came home with a dvd disc of about 3mb containing all books currently of 09 of all known authors from fiction to sci fi to romance.

at that point we were wolving down a novel per 2 days.

last year january i read and finished
Jordan RR Martins " A song of Ice and Fire: book 1-5 ( for those of you that don't know this book, its a series now called " The Game of Thrones").
A i have been waiting for book 6 since.

For those who like sci fi like me i would recommend
David Webber's Books
The Honor Harrington Series Book 1-12
The Starfire series: Book 1-4(Especially book 3"On death grounds" and 4" Shiva's Option"wink
Or check out
Safehold: Book 1-5("currently still waiting for book six, suppose to be out next january 14th"wink

Cant count how many novels and authors i have read this year,From The wheel of time: Book 1-12 to,
currently reading

Erickson Stevenson's Book

The Malazan book of the fallen: Book 1-10(on book 9, started reading since may)

Previous before that i finaly finished the Death Gate series and another lovely book Beligarath

So now some of you will ask where i get all this books i read without paying a dime.
a simple google search with this

(intitle:index.of? mobi "Kindle"wink

Depending on the book reader your using, change the mobi to what ever format you use. e.g replace mobi with epub or lit or txt,then state the name of the author you are looking for. e.g replace kindle with "author name or book name"

see the links google gives you, open the links and select your book and download.

This is for people on bb or android who use mobi reader,ireader,moon reader or kindle.

Thats all.

ajanaku2:

D.O Fagunwa's "Ogboju Ode Ninu Igbo Irunmole" is an absolute Masterpiece...

As skilled and talented as Soyinka is, I think his English-language translation of the Novel, "The Forest of A Thousand Demons" didn't perfectly depict what Fagunwa had in mind...

Back to topic...I've read Grisham the most; and My best Grisham Novel is actually his first, "A time to kill"...What a Fiction!
I Agree With You, Soyinka Himself Acknowledged How Difficult It Was In The Foreword. Interestingly, The Book Is The First Full Novel To Be Published In Yoruba Language.
