Venom104:


Or you could just deposit the money into my bank account...

Nice try.

Venom104:


Yeah.. Have one little sister claiming to be one.. Pain in the ass that girl..

Well.. Ive started with The Client.. Hoping its a good read

If I had a penny for every guy I come across that's anti-feminist, I would be able to buy him a meal & have him articulate what feminism is and why exactly he's against it.

theSpark:


He's good. You've seen 2Guns

Yeah, with Mark Wahlberg. It was okay, your classic shoot-em-up action movie.

Venom104:


Ermm.. What genre are they? Plus your suggested books seem to have 'girl' a lot.. Feminist??

Lol..why? Do you have something against feminists?

Actually, the genre is thriller, suspense, drama, suspense, action, in that order. The titles are mostly peripheral to the actual plot.

I had to resort to a French dictionary to figure out what you guys were saying.

I don't trust directors with movie adaptations. Most times they just ruin it. Only an elect few have that calling.

Hope them Denzel didn't ruin it?

The movie was good, but the book is better. Books are always better. To me, Denzel made the movie worthwhile. He's an excellent actor.

Venom104:


Yeah love to read to.. Articles, Blog post, Short publications... But an actual book? Maybe i just haven't found one interesting enough..

Any suggestions?

I could write a dissertation on book suggestions, but let me start small..

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
The Casual Vacancy by J. K. Rowling
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins (I'm currently reading this)
Any book by Lee Child (he is one of my favorite authors)

Physika:
Ah fr join da discus bur ah neva read anyfin frm authors una dey mention

Fancy beautiful narrative?

Read `Fools Die by Mario Puzo`

Cc theSpark chikaodili345 et al

Never heard of it. Just read a plot synopsis..sounds very Godfather-ish.

theSpark:


There's a certain Lady whose presence has made me comment first on two pages after a long dry spell. Thus I believe she's my talisman or good luck charm.

I dedicated my second 'first comment' to her in my victory speech.

Oh the silliness of this all See how I'm baring it all.

I also said I had taken not of the "no need for jamb number" comment.

Ohhh. Lol..I get it now

theSpark:


The first J Grisham book I read was that one of two kids who went out for a smoke and met a lawyer who was on the verge of suicide. Boyd Boyette.

His client killed someone and buried him in his garage and couldn't be arrested because there was no body. The lawyer told the kids before he died and the killer started after the kids too.

Have you read it? Had a lot to do with Federal Marshalls and Witness Protection

Yeah, I've read it. It's called "The Client". There's a movie of it too. Also, there's a movie of the Pelican Brief with Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts.

iykebesbt1:
it is my sincere desire that the answer to that riddle will elude you..pls ignore it ..inugo? Ochoro itinye aja na-garri anyi.

Lol..anugo m

theSpark:


No it is not a riddle. Does it appear so?

A little. I'm a bit confused.

theSpark:


I read based on recommendations. Maybe I should start with Pelican Brief. I have it too. Is is lt captivating? I don't mind spoilers

Yes, it is! Very engaging. Two U.S. Supreme Court judges are assassinated and a law student writes a legal brief that suggests who ordered the assassination.

Turns out that the judges were killed because they had certain judicidal leanings regarding environmental law. The man that ordered their killing wanted to get rid of them & replace them with judges that would rule favorably when his case comes before the court.

Venom104:


Dont know how you guys do it.. But my brain seems to shut down after reading anything more than i think 2000 words.. Strangely i grew up

reading Enid Blyton books

Reading is one of my hobbies. Sounds boring to most people but I enjoy it.

theSpark:


Takes note.

Y'all know what it is.

I used to dream oh oh about the goals and the goals and goals.
Now am sitting sitting sitting on top of the goals. This goal is dedicated to my good luck charm, my talisman. Since she came into my life. My goals came back. You all know her

Is this a riddle?

theSpark:


Yes... So intelligent. His books are timeless. I'll be reading a 1996 book happily and not feel bored with their tech. I have 18 of his books. I'm thinking of starting The Runaway Jury.

I've never read Runaway Jury, but I've read most of his books..especially the recent ones. I think Pelican Brief is my favorite.

theSpark:
John Grisham

Greatest legal fiction writer.

theSpark:


Oh that! Do you have jamb number?

No. I don't need it.

theSpark:


What thing?

NYSC.

I've been checking & re-checking the required documents for this thing, and it seems like only 5 things are required. I feel like I'm missing something, or maybe the long wait is making me paranoid

Something about an interview, JAMB and a Japanese scholarship? I can barely keep up.

What is this?

Venom104:


..and it is in the company of many.. it'd be over soon tho..

Thanks for reminding me of one of my favorite paramour track

You're welcome.

Why so serious?

babatawa:

A shout out from Chika will do too..

Welcome to the thread!

P.S. (to everyone) This thread goes really fast, like 100+ posts per day. I don't read every page. Next time, mention me so I'll see it.

theSpark:


Nope. It proof of financial capacity for one year.

Really? Never heard of such. Maybe I'm being paranoid.

Venom104:


I'm alright.. How are you coping with the long wait?

Not too good, tbh. But misery loves company so I can't complain too much.
