Empower yourself with Motivational, Self Developmental and Biograhic Books! Imagine if Dangote, Bill Gates, Steve Job, Mary Kay Ash, Oprah, Donald Trump, Jay Z, 2Face, Armani, Warren Buffet, M.I, Asa, Thomas Edison etc, imagine if these guys waste those precious times reading empty Novel? It's fun u might say? Or, i read Novels with my free time? Wake up! There is no free time, equip urself with Good book during those so call free time and see changes all around u- even your dog will notice! Empower yourself by climbing on the shoulders of great men and women- through their books, tapes and Biography!

What has been putting the asinine idea that novel isn't worthwhile? Sorry, you still have a lot to learn. I'm sure Chinua Achebe, Cyprian Ekwensi, Wole Soyinka and every other lovers of literature and creativity would see you as daft.

Poster, you can't expect everybody to read a particular style of books. We all have our personal favorites and preferences when it comes to books. Critisizing someone because of their choice is just wrong. Hard as i try to read non-fiction (biography, inspirational etc) i get bored halfway and i go back to my original choice of suspense thrillers.

poster you do know oprah has a book club, right?

it's great to know that u read good books, why i brought this up is that, once in a while, we put up seminars for youths and young minds....we discovered that most youth would rather spend over 1 hr each day reading romance and adventous Novels than read even their text books not to talk of reading a non-fiction book, and my guess is that, they copy these habits from their parents and peers: thus, one begins to wonder why the sudden mass failures in major exams in Nigeria! In as much as i respect everyone's choice of books they read, i still belive Novels will not bring out the best in US and in our KIDs!
