Re: Who Is Your Best Novelist? by messiah(m): 12:41pm On Jul 17, 2007 |
dis qsn has no straightforward answer cuz many novelists move me differently. but my most celebrated novelist is <b>Dan Brown<b/>. he has re-defined d way novels r written. he does his "homework" well and doesnt only give us a fictitious work of art (or science) by an encyclopaedia of information! he's lyk no other! |
Re: Who Is Your Best Novelist? by happybabe(f): 1:54pm On Jul 17, 2007 |
I have been reading novels since secondary school, now am almost a graduate, I have read somany novels but the ones i find fascinating are Daniell Steel, John Grisham, Web Griffin and a host of others. Cheers Nairaland |

Re: Who Is Your Best Novelist? by Nobody: 3:23pm On Jul 17, 2007 |
me I no sabi read all them long long tales. murder and mystery give me sleepless nights romance makes my tummy full of butterfies sad books make me cry like a baby. academic books give me headaches. fiction are lies,I hate liars But if na financial books,bring them on. how to be a millionaire and make money in the stock market. Infact I already have it planned out where to invest my millions and where my vacation homes will be. I'm just waaiting for my millions to arrive. |

Chinua Achebe is the man |
Re: Who Is Your Best Novelist? by mystikal(m): 6:24pm On Jul 17, 2007 |
donjohano:i feel you on this one broda, the Guy is imaginative, read only two of his books tho' (Genevieve and the one about the Guy whose Chic is lesbian which he knows but he's still got something 4 the girl., 4gotten the name). Dan Brown is tight, ''Deception point'' my best. Danielle Steele, she's deep. My best novel she's written is the one about her dead Son "His Bright Light", so well told. I love Chimamanda Adichie -o!! think she's the next best thing. |
Re: Who Is Your Best Novelist? by dinozzo(m): 6:54pm On Jul 17, 2007 |
Robert Ludlum |

Re: Who Is Your Best Novelist? by omega25red(m): 9:08pm On Jul 17, 2007 |
Sidney Sheldon my favs are Blood line and Dooms day conspiracy these two books would have you in a fantasy that seems real i was sad to hear that Mr. Sheldon passed away |
Re: Who Is Your Best Novelist? by spikedcylinder: 10:19pm On Jul 17, 2007 |
I can't believe nobody has mentioned DAVID BALDACCI yet! He's one of the best. I read Paul Coelho's ELEVEN MINUTES a while back and it was a brilliant book,truly brilliant! Cant really care for Helen Oyeyemi too,i bought her Icarus girl several months back and i just couldn't get past the first few pages, couldn't put my eyes through the torture. She is boring!!!!! She was paid a monumental amount for her publishing rights though, and she's my age mate! See my life? |
Re: Who Is Your Best Novelist? by ebos(m): 9:00am On Jul 18, 2007 |
Nothing is wrong with ur life, e go better. see u becoming better than she is? |
