there's nothing to be ashamed of, quite a number of guys your age have been know to enjoy reading cosmopolitan. . .

Lol. If you knew me you'd liken me to Johnny Depp in Secret Window or Emma Thompson in Stranger Than Fiction, completely disinterested in anything fashionable and certainly not a dandy. Besides, I'm saving other people trauma and myself explanations.

Q and A by Vikas Swarup
Honestly Slumdog Millionaire didn't do justice to this story.

The Girl Who Played With Fire - Steig Larsson

The one thing I never appreciated about John Grisham . . . she removed it. We have a bad hero/heroine not just those silly do-gooders in all those crime stories.
This is the most interesting heroine I've ever seen in a novel. . .even Sidney Sheldon heroines don't touch Lisabeth Salander. . .

Hmmm. This is good news for me. A certain BlueDiva will escape crucifiction after all. I've not started reading my copies but I hope to by november.

Reading my Sociology text book. Boring.

help by Kathryn Stockett. . .really cool book. . .

A Bright Shining Lie by Neil Sheehan

I've discarded my reading itinerary. I'm reading In the Name of God by John Teehan and The Life of Pi by Yann Martel.

Romance novel lovers you guys should check out CL wilson, her books are awesome! and if u read e books contact me and i'll hook u up.

I recently read Chimamanda's Birdsong. (Currently waiting for the rest of it)
I am starting to really love this woman,
it's so weird that i see myself in all her books.

that story is tight. . .sey it's only one? where did you see it?

you see yourself in her books ehn?. . .that speaks volumes o.

I read *not a penny more,not a penny less* by jeffrey archer last week.I am currently readinhg *the chamber* by john grisham.pls I would like to meet anyone who schools or lives in abeokuta that wants to xchange books with me.I read everything xcept motivational books

I'll advise you to drop the grisly Grisham cuz it's a sham of his norm. It's possibly his worst book to me.

I initially thought it was part of the new book she's writing
but it may not be.

What volumes?? hehe.

chimamanda has interesting/odd/unstable characters. . .your mind must be a veritable maze

i think Birdsong was a contribution to a collection of short stories called 20 under 40 for the newyorker

hopefully, her next offering'll be a proper book, 'the thing around our neck' was cool but still i prefer her books.

Yes, I know it was, that's where i read it. But some people had hinted it could be part of her new book.
She has definitely grown so far in writing, can't wait to read whatever she is working on now.

About the characters, well I don't read books just for fun or out of boredom. If i don't 'like' the characters, I usually
drop them. I have to 'connect' somehow. I think it's the blatant humanity of the characters (being odd/unstable)
that have endeared me to her books now.
And yeah, My mind is such a maze, it's only human.

The Other Side of Midnight by Sheldon.

Hmmm. This is good news for me. A certain BlueDiva will escape crucifiction after all. I've not started reading my copies but I hope to by november.

You can cash my recommendations in a bank. . .

Lol. Swiss bank account number? That's how I roll

Now you know!
Mere Christianity is considered to be a 'stand-out' (polls)
but I'm sure Screwtape letters would be equally good.
Get the Audio books if you can.

The screwtape letters is a good read if you want an insight to how good and evil battle for our minds, quite comical book though. Haven't read fiction in a while, currently trying to get a hang of web 2.0 with The shift

the idea of the book just trips me, how many authors(particularly of his generation) could come up with a concept like that. . .checked 'The Shift' that's pretty heavy reading o, not the sort of stuff you do for fun.

are Audio books that good? the idea of having some stranger read stuff out to me just doesn't cut it, plus i read fast so i'll prolly get impatient. Although i'd be willing to try mere christianity if it was CS himself reading it. . .anyone else is fa fa fowl.

but for real, is there anything gen-gen about audiobooks?

whaow! and someone's saying Nigerians don't read, guess whomever said that must be doomed for a wide awakening after going through this blog, anyway, i am a book lover too and the truth is, i read everything, motivational,detective,adventure,romance,medical fictions etc, i love JOHN GRISHAM and SIDNEY SHELDON just read 2 of sidney sheldon's but they were tight,for John Grisham i just want to read all his books heard they are about 10 but have just gone through 4 , A TIME TO KILL,PELICAN BRIEF, THE FIRM,RUN AWAY JURY,THE BROKER at the moment am reading his THE PARTNER, and a Motivational from Joel Osteen "become a better you"
