So have you read The Vulture Is A Patient Bird and No Orchids For Miss something?

Of course.
No orchids for miss blandish.

I think I have read all Chase books. I remember that vulture is a patient bird about the rimg with poison I think.

Blandish was about the kidnapped daughter of a rich man that the fat woman forced to love her son. She killed herself at the end.

My favs

All books with Helga rolfe, safer dead. Coffin from Hong Kong, a lotus for miss quon, you find him I'll fix him.

Many many more.

I believe you. I used to be very careful so mine either got lost, torn or someone took it to read and never returned it

Hehehe you too read! Haba mana

The term voracious was used to describe me then. I just leave this entire planet and enter my own world then.

I remember when I unearthed my mother's hardley Chase collection men I was almost insane with joy. She had about 3 large cartons filled with novels. I read them all.

Emenike is different from Ekueme. Ekwueme was Ihuoma's husband while Emenike was supposed to marry her. Agwoturumbe boasted he could appease the Sea King but he was outsmarted at the end

Yes. Emenike was The first to die. Ekwueme was next. That book was awesome.

I remember the tale of the ones who ran to Lagos. When they were dedicating the truck, people got drunk and fought themselves, and eventually had blood splattered on the truck. The two were warned that this was a bad omen.

The one of the orphan who was taken by the trader selling statues is a vague memory but I recall the beginning.

Very correct. That's the book.

Gwendoline Mary = Mallory Towers. I read those books more than 30 years ago, so I don't remember the names of the individual books, but I remember a bit of the plots. Do you remember when they had an American student at Mallory Towers? They also had a very snobbish girl in one of the books. I think her name was The Honourable Clarissa Carter (or something like that).

Wow wow wow. You are right. A girl's boarding school or something like that. Wow.

Flashback.

Nice you could remember.

When I read it the cover was different. Ekwueme died from the injuries he sustained in a fight with Madume. Madume, the greedy lecher began eyeing Ihuoma after her husband died. I think Madume later hung himself on a tree after he went blind. The spirit husband came in the form of a snake and spat into his eyes, blinding him. He sunk into depression afterwards, and then committed suicide.

Truly an unforgettable classic...

Also read this. Though I think an arrow aimed at a lizard killed emenike. He who climbed a palm tree and refused to come down till ihuoma was called.

Wakiri the wag and his knock knees.

The Drummer Boy by Cyprian Ekwensi.

I owned a copy of this book and I saw Kokoro everyday in traffic, yet it didn't occur to me that the book was about him (until just before his death).

This took me down memory lane. Wow!!

I also remember another one written by Cyprian, about an old man struck with a spell of the wandering disease. Each time someone mentions Sokugo, the old man loses his senses and starts wandering upandan distant lands. I have forgotten the name but the plot has stayed with me all these years.

This was burning grass. Read it in JSS 2. Didn't get the gist till later. Even now I call my wandering friends " sokugo".

And do you realize how many innocent lives Muslim terrorists have taken all in the name of jihad or fighting Zionists ?
What gives you the right to take a life and later play the victim card saying it's because of Western supremacist countries ?
I intentionally avoid religious squabbls but please don't you dare ! Don't you dare!
I have alot to say on the cusp of my tongue but I will hold my peace

Lestat de lioncourte. Leave him alone no need.

I remember when I had n agreement with a Muslim over 9/11 and he was explaining to me the logic behind it. All I said was I wished his brother who was abroad then was in the building and the plane smashed right into his surprised face.

Arguement over!!.

Dont mind them they are blood thirsty individuals. How come the Jews haven't been terrorist in Germany or the Armenians. Why always the Muslims.

ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIMS.

It's always very abstract other people's death.

Thanks for drawing my attention to that direction. You sound matured than the self proclaimed Jonsnow monika. 'vnt read the novel though but have watched the movie up to the point Jonsnow was killed by his brothers of the night watch except if he didn't die. Novels tell more on every little detail than movies though just like The God father and The last Don. I think I should continue with the novel.

On a lighter note, which Armadeo are you, the 1st, 2nd or third?

You should read the books. It's captivating.

Also haven't seen another armadeo here. So am solo no number. grin

I never said it was fantastic, I did say it was the one that held my attention the least out of the films I had watched yesterday. Seriously, I honestly didn't remember most of the characters' names. Although, the first POV scene was brilliant.

Personally, I enjoyed Legend of Tarzan though.

I know was supporting your statement.

Jonsnow is the bastard son of Lord Edad Stark who eventually pledged loyalty and joined the men of the nights watch and was eventually killed as result of a mutiny by his nightwatch brothers in the HBO series titled "Game of Thrones". Just a correction though.

Guy which game of the ones you dey watch
Don't argue with die-hard fans.

Snow is a mix between stark and targaryan. Ice and fire. It's all about him.

@jon snow.

Interestingly I also read the books and at first I paid no attention to snow till I saw the r+l = j.

I read it again and it made sense. Stark was a man of honour. The only time he snarled at his wife was when she asked of Jon's mother. Even robert had no idea where the child came from.

By the way ese's case is one of family failure. They failed as parents.

They should console themselves. In this terrible country your daughter elopes and changes religion while still a minor in your house. Don't blame porverty blame parental incompetence.
