charlesucheh:
written in a book. bruv! to an average Nigerian, they all fall under the category of a Novel. so don't come here with you over sahbi literary attitude to intimidate us. just get the message chikena.....

precy111:
What is that novel you can never forget that you read in secondary school?

me; they are many of them like Woman in her Prime, Ozigolo, Women of Owu, Blind Search, Medicine for Money.

Fianze93:
It's obvious a lot of us don't know what a novel is.

Shakespeare's ain't novels.
'Telephone Conversation' no be novel
'Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again' is not a novel

And many more wey I dey see for una list

Angelfrost:


You can find the soft copy online... Same thing happened to me. That's not a book to lose.

@Op... I read way too many novels starting from Primary school. Even now as a medical professional, I still read them in the hundreds every year.

The few that I have termed evergreen and timeless are:

1. The Concubine (Elechi Amadi)
2. Things Fall Apart (Chinua Achebe)
3. Anthills of The Savannah (Chinua Achebe) (Almost all his books, he was the author of authors)
4. Arrow of God (Chinua Achebe)
5. King of Torts (John Grisham) (I doubt there is a Grisham book I haven't devoured)
6. Mine Boy (Peter Abraham) (Every African should read this)
7. The Only Son (John Munonye)
8. When a Child is Motherless (Andrew Okogba) (Every serious Nigerian ought to read or have read this)
9. Weep Not Child (Ngugi Wa'Thiongo)
10. The Victims (Isidore Okpewho)
11. The Great Gatsby (F. Fitzgerald) (One of the greatest works of fiction in history)

Of course, I have since gone on to own a virtual library of over 2,000 novels and books!!! Still collecting, and would love to add more... Please, anyone should recommend current great Nigerian and African fiction writers on these contemporary times, as I seem to have more of foreign authored books.
