I can never forget AFRICAN CHILD by Camara Laye! That book kept me glued till I finished it. I don't know why I love non fiction books! Black boy by Richard Wright was also the bomb |

My list Prose Eze goes to school (Chai! I chop cane wella for this book matter for JSS 1, Edogram. lol) Chike and the river Nuga the schoolmaster Pot of life (aka Aimiuwu) Shattered dreams Zandi and the magic pillow Sugar girl The weeping undergraduate College days of John Ojo Stories from an African village (personal. Tanigororo and Banigororo) Things fall apart No longer at ease The concubine The gods are not to blame The lion and the jewel (I saw a play of this too at my school hall) The drummer boy Without a silver spoon Shaka the Zulu The black hermit (Ngugi wa Thiongo, Kenya) Mine boy (Peter Abrahams, South Africa) Poems Mostly Gabriel Okara (I love 'moon in the bucket' and 'once upon a time') Some J. P Clark (I love 'Ibadan') A lot a can't remember right now. Most not very popular I spent all my money on novels back then. But all of a sudden I lost ALL interest. I think the love I found lately for Science may have been the cause. I still lament it. Now I just read non-fiction. I only ever got to read one fiction book since 2006 - 'Keeper of the Children' by William Hallahan - more than once. Plus one mills n boons romance novel I can't remember the name of right now. Btw, if anyone knows where one can download African novels, please do share. I have a 10 year old niece on my neck. I just can't meet her demand for novels. 1 Like |
