Writing A Book: Is It Worth It? by Raymand(m): 12:20am On Sep 27, 2006
I've been through most of the stories here, and i must say i really enjoyed them. Not only did they add to my vocabulary, they also made me laugh, cry, and think. . . one of the things i thought about is the future of writers in Nigeria, now everyone knows Nigeria doesn't read (im not a book freak myself either), someone once said "If you don't want Nigerians to know about something, put it in a book!".

So with the poor reading culture of Nigerians, do you really think expressing yourself through books is worth it? To the talented writers here I ask, where are you going with this?

Newera asked a similar question recently. My answer was that books can be made into movie scripts, knowing that people watch movies a lot.
