The concubine ...I lost that book and I can't find it in bookshops any more...
Animal farm is my all time favourite....I've read it more than 20 times...

O really.. these two were my favorite too. The concubine was my eldest sisters novel. Used to steal it from her bag to read those days. It Should still be in major book shops in Lagos if you search very well.

I wish I can lay my hands on Animal farm again. Mehnn.. I really enjoyed that story.

If you're Lagos, you check the big bookshop at Marina lagos island. I believe it will be there.

R0LL0N:

All this one are #20 story book back then and they can never be recommended in teaching syllabus.

hahahahahaha kikikikikikiki funny. 20naira books that are not recommended are the books that are 6st read by student of nowadays. While the mes they recommend they force them to read it

BluntTheApostle:


So, textbooks are also novels abi? Since they are "written in books".

You people just enjoy being ignorant. You are unteachable.

You find a problem with anyone who wants to teach you.

Learn! If not for your sake, at least for the sake of your children.

Will you teach your children that every work published as a book is a novel?

you are the biggest idiot of all time. you don't even know Mr and yet you're sounding like you know my unborn children. The OP would have taken it to an advanced literature section if he wanted experts to comment on it, but he brought it down to FP so even lay men's view can be heard. you acted like you didn't understand, but No! your busy bodied nature won't just let you..

wako!

Fianze93:


Great collections you have here, Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo and Mariama Ba was missing sha.

I'll recommend you read contemporary writers like:

Chimeka Garriks (Tomorrow Died Yesterday)

Asika Ikechukwu (Tamara, The Portrait of an Artist as a Mad Man)

Odili Ujubụọṅụ (Pride of the Spider Clan, Pregnancy of the Gods, Treasure in the Wind)

Ositadimma Amaka eze (The Last Carver)

If you like feminist novels look up Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, she's like the new version of Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo.

You won't regret reading any of these novelists.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm quite grateful! I have taken note of them... Will hunt and purchase them into my growing collection.

I read So Long A Letter by Mariama Ba over 15 years ago. It was an amazing read, but not like the classics I put up there. Those are books I read over and over again, especially The Great Gatsby!

I recently read Born On A Tuesday by Elnathan John (A Nigerian) and was blown away!!! Our young writers are doing quite well.

Read most of them in primary/secondary school and I loved them. Recently tried getting them for my library, but couldn't.

It's a shame that these books are not preserved, not even digitally. Sad.

Joy of motherhood by Buchi Emecheta. Should be sorrow of motherhood, the character never enjoy being a mother just a bragging right ( my pikin dey Amelika).

Quite sad actually... We don't value literature as a nation. Pity!!!
