Ok. You have the rarest of dull minds.

Would that be medium rare by any chance?

You tell me. You should know your standards.

You love horror too? I thought I was literally the only Nigerian into that genre. I love horror - almost have the complete works of Stephen King. Then there is John Saul etc.
Alas, I don't do African authors. Did those in my early teens.
Fave authors are Robert Ludlum (my genius), King, Frederick Forsyth, Sidney Sheldon, Agatha Christie and Belva Plain.
My best novel - btw the Bounre Series and Belva Plain's "Evergreen".
I also collect James Patterson, Jonathan Kellerman, Thomas Harris and Dean koontz.
My latest acquisition...the complete works of HG Wells...in hardcover no doubt! A classicccccc!!!

Damn, I love you.

HG Wells, the science fiction guy. I have read about him but I haven't, any of his works. I have begun looking into collecting Stephen Kings for months now. I have movies inspired by his works—Carrie, Thinning and The Fog. Have you heard about Edgar Allan Poe? He wrote horrors too. I used to have a big collection of horror stories that includes some of his stories but termites destroyed it at a cousin's place.

I have heard so much about Sidney Sheldon but I am not sure if I have read any of his books.

I will check out John Saul.

I forgot to include George Orwell as one of my favorite authors. His book 1984 still stays with me.

King's The Fog is a fantastic film! It potrayed the fraility of human beings on one side and their true sadistic nature on the other side when survival mode kicks in.
Of course I know Edgar Allan Poe! Read his bio on Wikipedia some time back after I saw film The Raven (it starred John Cusack). It was supposedly about his life. But my wiki research saw in inconsistencies. Either way, Poe was slightly crazy!
Gorge Orwell! I have his softcopy books in a file somewhere
How can u be into books and not have any Sheldon works?? Let me be the one to pop your Sheldon cherry! Get and read his Windmils of the gods first!
As for King, I have hard and softcopy versions of almost all his works. Pls read his Duma Key!
U know,i always felt that if the world was coming to an end, I did choose to save my laptop and External HD Drives...housing all my Ebooks!

Edgar Allan Poe lived a very depressed life. It was evident in most of his short stories—death is always a recurring theme.

I will get myself some Sheldon then. I will get the very one you recommended.

Depressed. That's an apt word. It wasn't the most feel-good movie...but hey, I love Cusack.
Yes, do get it. You won't be disappointed.
Enjoy your afternoon. Cheers

You have to work with me here. I am apprehensive about using too many words with you. It would just fly over your head or possible give you migraine. Small dull minds require small words. "fly over your head" in this context means you will not understand it. Just in case you start googling the meaning.

Hahahahaha. Honestly, you are truly the most childish and immature person I have had a chance to chat with here. Its "migraine" u should have described though .
Thank goodness for few matured minds like LordofNairaland etc who can actually carry and sustain an interesting conversation. With people like that, I realise there is still some hope in the world. The world is not fully populated with children in d guise of "men" who constantly exhibit infantile behaviour.
So my sweet little boy child, this would be my last response to you. Thank you for entertaining me this few days. Oh and should u bother to respond (which I know u childishly would - don't disappoint me now! ), be sure that I won't bother to read it. My attention span with kids can only go so far....my 5 year old nephew knows this!
It's been rad kid.
Cha cha!

Says the dull mind who keeps responding. Lol. Anyone else sees the hypocritical irony in the above comment?

jmichlins:
as much as I will want to blame the government we as citizens share part of the blame. That was when BATA was the shoe everyone wears, clothes were imported from Aba and not Dubai, there were palm oil in the east, cocoa in the west, ground nuts in the north. Though government needs fiscal policies and huge investment into the power and transport sector to stimulate growth again.

Dude, one thing you need to understand is that consumers are rational most of the time in other words, they would find the best product at affordable prices. If your product is inferior then you would see customers slowly flock to the exit for better merchandise. Its the same almost everywhere in the world.

The kind of Love and Hate chat you guys are doing here is amazing. I am going to write about this. ;

U guys are talking about books and no mention of Robert Ludlum or even Ted Dekker? sad sad times

1984 still gives me the goose pimples...with the way the world is going too Techie, we seem to be slowly gradually moving to the point of 'Big Brother' watching over us

Oh my bad...
Ludlum used to be my best till I came across TED DEKKER...he changed my world #noHOMO
He writes thrillers with a lil slight emphasis on xtianity but this is usually downplayed..u will like him

I will recommend this below
1) 'Blink' or ' Blink of an eye'

2) the paradise series
a. Saint
b. Sinner
c. Project showDown

3) the circle series
a. Black
b. Red
c. White

4) Thunder of heaven

5) the martyr's song

These are the ones I v read....2 and 3 are a trilogy though the books can be read in any order and understood.
Thank me later

Not just you, bro. The 1984 world scares me. I can't imagine living in that type of world.
