Bookshops

I will find out - Most of those books aren't always around in our bookshops.

These days bookshops are selling ordinary papers.

Like all autobiographies, Aké records interesting anecdotes, childhood adventures, and fond memories of friends and numerous relatives. However, what stands out in the narrative is the child’s perspective of the illogicality of the adult world.Wole Soyinka was a bright, curious child and his account of his early childhood in the town of Abeokuta in Western Nigeria is enchanting. He writes with his adult voice, but maintains the child's perspective and understanding throughout, the one exception a nostalgic contrasting of street-fronts then and now. Events are not always joyful — most obviously the harsh treatment of a mentally ill woman and the death of a sibling — but Aké is ebullient, full of the excitement of new discoveries and opportunities, a celebration of the wonders of childhood.

chei! God bless you for including this book. There's a particular part I can never forget, where a bus conductor cursed a helplessly unruly commuter..."...bloody, f*-king, Son of a b*-ch! Article of no commercial value! Do you think the bus belong to your father?..." apparently the commuter had been sleeping and emitted viscous spittle on the seat.

Psalm18:
One week, one trouble. By Anezi Okoro which is about the story of Wilson Tagbo

The book I first read that hooked me to literature.

Great choices OP.
