ApexTitan:
All thanks to you.

Have you finished reading it yourself? There were certain parts that I had to stay up late just to get through like the part about the dust storm. That was something. Another one was the part when the Hab was breached... Very interesting book I say.

Yes, i have finished reading d book. it was captivating and entertaining i had to binge read it . The dust storm part was very intriguing also that part were Marks suit went into auto mode as he'd been pierced by the antenna and his crew aborted d mission, left him behind thinking he was dead, then the suit had to convert CO2 into nitrogen and later 02, he was literaly saved by the suit and the survival tactics he learned on earth.
Its a great book.

I have read...plenty
But sad to say, not so much these past few years
Twilight was memorable
.....I read Americanah too
.....I think I have read Angela's Ashes
But dont remember it...I liked it though....but it may also be another book by the same author

I can forget a book...entirely
I dunno why

I used to like espionage, crime, thrillers ...but these days I realise I love looong dramas...slow novels people may not bother with, lol
But definitely going to go back to African writers soon as I can
Cheers

waw, Long dramas and slow novels are fun to read, there usually have a way of keeping the reader in suspence and that helps in hightening the readers enjoyment of the book.

I'll advice you check out Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's novels whenever u av time to do some reading (she wrote Americanah). her novels are amazing...cheers..

btw op

impacted has an ambiguous meaning, why not use impressed or something in your thread title, make you nor kill nlers o.

lord have mercy.

I know i could'av used impressed, favorite or such but i believe U have read & bcome impressed by loads of books. U might like a book without it impacting you a bit, while after reading others, you notice a change in perspective about a particular issue, people or event. so, can u tell us abt som books u've read?

OMA4U:
It's a collection of 15 short stories with each story ending in epiphany. The characters are well portrayed with indelible emotions that stay with the reader. In short, it's a very great book that has its setting in Dublin. Try it!

I'll surely do that, tnks.
and Thanks for the review.

Would really appreciate recommendations from you all, especially on leadership

If you are looking for good leadership books, i'll like to suggest a few to you:
1. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho (OMA4U mentioned it earlier) its a classic with great lessons for anyone aspiring to become a leader
2. Tribes by Seth Godins. I will highly recommend you get this book. u can get it in pdf format.
3. 7 habbits of highly efficient people by Steven Covey. the title speaks for itself
4. how to win friends & influnce people by best selling author Dale Carnegie. to become a good leader you'll need good interparsonal & communication skills which is the main focus of this book.
Thats my 2cents.

the high school story is so real and the humor is just awsome.


nice write-up.
