VeryWickedMan:I loved it the first time I read it,funny thing was that back then I wasn’t into novels but it was the only novel I’ve ever read completely in my life I liked it to the extent that I read it twice enjoying every moment of the novel even the second time |

Clint02: To be honest with you, I have encountered people with similar challenge as yours, my friend, Mani, from Economics department, a guy from Geography and others I can't mention here. They are exceptionally calculation whizkid but very poor in reading theories. Well, reading is not limited to field of study, but maybe you will be better off in engineering field where you do more of calculation. I know Arts students that are very good at reading but poor in calculation and they never see it as a challenge. 1 Like 1 Share |

olaleke1: James Hadley Chase novels are very interesting, I read both English and American books and French books too. However, without sentiment, I still don't joke with African writers. The Concubine by Elechi Amadi Mine Boy by Abraham Peter I love African books and easily relate to the writer's motif and themes. Writers like Ngugi Wa Thiongo of Kenya, Bessie Head of South Africa, Nadim Godimer of South Africa, Authol Fugger, Camara Laye, Ferdinand Oyono, Zulu Sofola, Mariama Aloma, Amos Tutuola books are thrilling too because of supernatural presence, Buchie Emecheta and many others. |

InfinityFabric: lol, speak for yourself oh, our ways might be very different. Me as a core science student, i had to meet with the V.P Academics and various art teachers to enable me to engage in literature,government,fin acc,home economics,business studies, crk i learnt all these even doe i me science student and i self taught myself history because my sch didnt have a teacher for it. To a point i read so may western and african literature, such that art students had to borrow novels frm me,they hated to engage in novel narations wit me becoz i read books way ahead of them. to a point i started learning greek (to enable me perfect my almost perfect physics), portugese and french too. Yet, i be science student, maybe i was to weird. |

Mitsurugi: LoL, if you are not patient you won't finish the novel, but Samuel Selvon, the novelist, is trying to comment on the plight of the immigrants, the racial discrimination, by justifying the opinion that the grass is not always greener at the other side. |

bhella10: Yes, I got it from my friend as a gift. At first, I wasn't interested but the themes discussed in the novel cannot be overemphasize. |

Lifeiseazi: Yes, Native Son by Richard Wright is a remarkable novel about racism. Try and read the Black Boy and Uncle Tom leaves home by him. You enjoy novels by African writers because the story is your story, your history, your themes, your setting, your characters. You feel you are the one doing the things the characters do and say, you easily ralate to their experience. 1 Like |

Babysho: Most people are not scholarly inclined when it comes to reading and having scholarly discussions. The evidence is Nairaland for instance, how many people write well, spell well and punctuate well? You don't have to be discouraged. I still have people that will call me if writing, assignment or things like that come their way, that makes me Demigod. Distinguish yourself. About favorite book, to be honest, I can't even name any book my favorite, because I enjoyed each one I read differently. You should check these books out: Black Boy by Richard Wright Americana by Chimamamda Adichie So Long A Letter by Mariam ma William Shakespearean plays and sonnets African child by Camara Laye The old man and the medal by Ferdinand Oyono Efuru by Flora Nwakpa Second class citizen by Buchie Emecheta Stillborn by Zainab Alkali Weep Not Child Devil on the Cross I will marry when I want Grain of wheat Petals of blood, all by Ngugi Wa Thiongo Violence by Festus Iyayi The last duty by Okpehowo There was a country by Chinua Achebe. |

frozen70: It's about principles, stories of great men and how they outsmarted their opponents, people like Niccolo Machaevelli, how to take advantage of situations and people, laws about serving people, relating with people, becoming superior over people. I read that book when I was in SS1, and it really affected my life negatively. I was exposed to books early in life, and books like that, power of seduction, Angels and Demon and some satanic books, played on my psychology and I am really messed up. You have to be mature before reading such books. |

Demigod22:Yes you are correct. There are some courses in my field that are theory-based,so that's where the challenge comes in. But I feel if I start reading more and make it as a habit,I would get a hold of it. Tis not that easy a journey to embark on especially for most of us the 'Engineering students' lol ![]() Thank you for your response sir. |

Till date I fantasize about being stranded on an Island and having to find food and shelter while plotting for how I'll be rescued thanks to this book. Add Coral Island, King Solomon's Mine, Treasure Island (15 Men after a dead man's chest, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum) and you have my perfect recipe of books as a child. Sadly, the reading culture is growing dead. Kids would rather press phone, play games, watch movies and reality shows that don't impact on their lives any way than read books. |
