C.S Lewis come and see this lie lie oo, what you're actually tryna say is that u finished each book in less than 24 hours, guy your lie carry weight
.
uhnnnn,he might be telling a lie though but let me tell you my experience, when I was in SS1 I finished the first three franchise of harry potter in one week, and the next day I and my friends will discuss it, one of them read faster than I do, so if I could do that nothing g stops someone from reading 7 books in a week o, I once read a book starting from the closing our of schl reading it and I refuse to go to the evening lesson just because I can't put the book down, I read it through out the night till the next morning.
still some of my friends are still faster than I do, so its possible.

I have 1,3,4,6,7,8 in my library. Hoping to get through them in a short while.


Have you read Khaled's Kite Runner?

I have. That guy is one of the best. I tend to gravitate towards authors of Asian origin. They incorporate their cultural experiences into their prose. Do you know of Haruki Murakumi and Nadia Hashimi?

Three books from the same author qualifiy as my favourites.

The virtue of Selfishness;
The fountainhead;
and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

The virtue of selfishness describes her philosophy, objectivism. The fountainhead and Atlas shrugged gives the application and end result of objectivism if followed in real life. These books will appeal to a great many men, the thinkers; the intellectuals; the advocates of reason.

The 50 Laws of Power!
Re: Tell Us About Your Favourite Book by patwilly(m): 11:14am On May 08, 2016
All books by the greatest author of all time..Sir Dennis Wheatley.. Unfortunately I've not read all his books yet. The gripping tale of the Gregory Sallust series holds you spell bound like no other. I'll appreciate soft copies of his books from anyone on here. God bless you all.
Cc..buhari fan..Any chance you could resend those books mate? in a more downloadable format? Bless you all.

No movie is as good as the book. Maybe except Van Helsing. The director of that movie had them do everything in the book. Same can't be said of Harry Potter sha

I was disappointed when I saw the movie. Most of my favorite characters in the story were missing.
Re: Tell Us About Your Favourite Book by 2scorehigh(m): 11:39am On May 08, 2016
Juju Rock by Cyprain Ekwensi

The Concubine by Elechi Amadi

King Solomon's Mines by Sir H. Rider Haggard

Round The World In Eighty Days by Jules Verne

Mission to Siena by James Hadley Chase

The Partner by John Grisham

And so many others...

Most of these books have a way of taking through a journey of adventure that only leaves you silently though regretfully wishing that the story will never end.

PS TO ALL THE BOYS I HAVE LOVED:
A young teenager's sister was moving to another country for college. The older sister breaks up with long time boyfriend, Once she left, her sister began developing feelings for him.

I finished the pdf of this book in two nights after randomly downloading it from waptrick.com. Awesome one! I think the sister started having the crush on the guy even before she left for college, though. She wrote that in the letters, didn't she?

I am surprised that no one has yet mentioned James Hardley Chase... These books kept most who graduated from schools busy while waiting for next stage of life in the 1980s and 1990s.

Surprised too . And pacesetters, that were i start from.
Have read (pacesetters)
Coup -kalu okpi
Undersireable element -

James hadley Chase (Rene brabazon raymond)
Consider yourself dead.
Sucker punch
Want to stay alive?
You're lonely when you are dead
Miss blandish triology (no orchids for miss blandish, flesh of the orchid etc)
The helga roff series (I hold the four ace, an ace up my sleeves etc)
Believe this you will believe anything
The dead stay dumb
Strictly for cash
An ear to the ground
Well now my pretty
A lotus for miss quon
You have youself to blame
The vulture is a patient bird
The guilty are afraid
this way for a shroud
Mission to venice
Mission to hong kong
The way the cookies crumble

Then i moved to sidney sheldon

Master of the game
Mistress of the game
Sands of time
Nothing last forever
Stars shine down
best laid plans

Then JACKIE COLLINS

chances (santangelo series)
Lady boss
Lucky
Vandetta
Dangerous kiss
Poor little bitch girl
Drop dead beatiful
Goddess of vengence
Married lovers
The power trip

And then lots of daniell steele

And Robert ludlum
Bourne identity
Bourne supremacy - the movie na wash. It didnt do the book any justice
Bourne ultimatum

Some frederick forsyth, john grisham, harold robbins and several shades of authors in between

Quote my very first Hadley chase
'' kidnapping has become a national past-time in Italy. But is there another another reaaon why billonaire Carlos Grandi put his beatiful daughter behind electrified fence guarded by killer dogs and two fast shooting guards? Mike frost got the job as second gun and soon realized he is guarding a hell cat. When kidnappers sold him the idea of been an inside man, He doesnt know which one he likes best; that beatifull body or the $2million he going to get''

LOL. Mike Frost, can't remember the title of this particular Hadley Chase book but I sure know the details. I remember Lu Silk, Herman Radnitz personal assassin was in it.

Men I've read almost all the Hadley Chase books, my first was My Laugh Comes Last. Read it when I was in J.S 3, around 1995.
