When can I send you a reminder?

I think the only Grisham novels I've read are King of Torts and The Odyssey Files. Maybe because I'm not too keen on heavy legal and courtroom crime novels.

I grew up reading novels by James Hadley Chase. I started reading them very young, at the age when I didn't even understand half of what I was reading. The one that stands out for me is "There's a Hippie On The Highway", and that's because I never finished it. A big eyed thief in my neighborhood stole it before I got the chance.

In retrospect, I think it is Mallory... 🤔🤔🤔

Yes, the unfinished book is Mallory, also by Chase. The book is about this mysterious war vet who seems to defy death. He had a big scar on his face and moved around like a homeless vagrant, which is why my subconscious linked him to "Hippie", because the hippies of the 60s era were more or less free loving, commune sharing vagrants. I stopped at where he was tracked to a train station..

Please, sorry for the mixup. It is Mallory I'm after, not Hippie. Still yet, if you have the two I wouldn't mind.

I should have the two and will check my hard drive foe them. I read each of the James Hardley Chase novels about four to times. Same for for John Grishams, I was so hung up on legal Thrillers that I almost enrolled to study Law after my degree.

My all time Chase faves are No Orchids For Miss Blandish, The Flesh of The Orchid (the sequel), Knock Knock, Who's There?, You Find Him, I'll Fix Him, There's a Hippie On The Highway and Mallory. 'No Orchids' is particularly spectacular because of the sub theme of rape, and that was a very heavy theme for a pre-teen to fully grasp. I read all these books before I was 11 (including the Odyssey Files. King of Torts was in my late teens or early 20s. I've forgotten). Can you just imagine. I remember my adult neighbour, Uncle Suraju chiding me back then for reading such adult books. I've not had the chance to reread most of the Hadley Chase novels I read growing up, and the only Grisham novel I reread was Odyssey Files and I was finally able to understand what the book was talking about cheesy

You are going to be like my twin then. I read most of them when I was 10 to 15, some nights, I would read till 5am the next morning. I read in the church with an Hardley Chase novels in between the Bible and one time, an usher seized my novel when he noticed. Sometimes, I would close the book and cry very hard when a favorite character dies in a book. Now, I have transitioned to audio books

Audio books?? When I'm not blind cheesy

So I'm not the only one who started reading adult themed novels at a very young age?? That is a very pleasant surprise!! I started reading Hadley Chase novels around the age of 9, spiced with some M&B romance novels, one or two from Fredrick Forsythe, some Achebe and a lot of Pacesetters and African Writers Series books. A WHOLE LOT. I think that's is what informed my love for literature-in-English. I recall when I was in JSS3, my literature teacher gave us an assignment to summarise the entire plot of one of the recommended texts. When we turned it in, the man stood in the class and said everybody wrote rubbish, except Ishilove, pointing to me. 😁😁😁

He went on and on about how well I summarised the book and how advanced my knowledge of the novel was. Always the shy one, I was embarrassed at being the centre of attention, but the werey would not stop. I didn't know how to tell him that I've been reading 'big big' novels since I was a wee child grin

I've transitioned to ebooks because getting hardcopies of older writers is difficult. Nothing beats the feeling of pages between your fingers. Nowadays people press phone while eating or in bed, back then na novel we dey carry go dining table, or in bed with the kerosene lamp burning half the whole night because we just wanted to know what happens next. One more page, one more page!! cheesy cheesy

Omg! I read all the pacesetters series, my best Fredrick Forsyth was, Day of the Jackal and back then, I felt It was tje best novel I ever read. I read most of Shakespeare's books and I never came across another teen who loved to read novel as myself. I cannot use the toilet without my favorite novels, I stole novels to read, I make friends with people just to borrow their novels, I went to ebooks and then audio books. When out of novels once and started reading labels on all the bottles at home. I also read lots of spiritual books at age 15.
Now, I sleep every night listening to my favorite audio book and on average about five books per week.
I am addicted to books the way some are addicted to heroine. In the university, I get to read literature for different departments, summarize for them to take exams without having to read their books.

I don finally see person wey like novel pass me 🙂

I think every one, adults included read Day of The Jackal. That was the most popular Forsythe novel back then.

In secondary school, when all my peers were playing after exams, I'd go to the school library and read HUGE volumes texts about English writers and other European writers, their texts and writing styles.

I couldn't get myself to steal novels (I've never had the stomach for 'crime' 😁). Rather, what I did was 'borrow' it, and then find a way to return it when I'm done. grin

Na una novel bandits tif my Mallory, and Tara Road by Maeve Binchy which I had taken to NYSC camp and never got to finish. That NYSC own pain me no be small. I went for morning parade one day and when I returned to my room later, one of your people don kidnap am. I never saw it again. Very interesting 😫😭😡

I read my fair share of spiritual books, all by Lobsang Rampa. The ones that readily come to mind are Living with The Lama, The Hermit and The Saffron Robe. Can't say I will read them again (Rampa), though. I'm now more careful with stuff I read...

Hello Ishi, I just got into my external drive. I have about 95 JHC and 25 John Grishams. I'm having trouble finding Malory for some reason, and I thought I had it. If you could inbox or send an email, I will send all the books to you in epub format.
Wow!! Thank you so much!!! 🙏

That is the same problem I've had with finding Mallory over the years. It is EXTREMELY scarce, both in hard and soft copies and it has been out of print for several decades. It's such a bummer sad cry

I've sent you a PM

I sent to both of your e-mails. Let me know if you have any difficulties accessing Epubs. I use my Kobo and Amazon e-reader to access them and, I think you could open them with pdf as well.

I use ReadEra for my epub files.

I didn't get them in both mails. Was it a zipped folder?

*Modified.

I've seen them. They were in the Spam box. I guess the attachments caused Gmail to flag them.

Thank you. Now... I feast grin grin
