VitaminB12:Dan Brown wrote Angels and Demons and not Da Vinci. Then while the book is totally fictious, some parts of it are true which includes conclave (the way a new pope is chosen), the way the Illuminati sprung up from the hurch itself, the way the Church prosecuted scientists and branded them as heretics. Those are not loes 1 Like |

Mynd44:Sorry, Dan Brown I meant to write. The book is highly captivating no doubt, but for me, it's not what should be on everyone's to read list in life. I took interest in it because am a Catholic and an Ex-Seminarian. If you are not a devout Catholic, you won't understand much in that book especially the conclave. |

There's no such thing. It's SUBJECTIVE. Each person's list of top 5 would differ, and can even be radically opposite. 1 Like 2 Shares |

There are a lot of excellent books and these things are subjective but in my view everyone should read these books before they die, or God will have some interesting questions for you 1. THE OZIDI SAGA by J P CLARK It's amazing the number of Nigerians who have never read this book. How can you claim to love books but you've never read arguably the magnum opus? If I were to pick a book by a Nigerian author everyone should read, this is it. The perfect retelling of an African legend, our own Iliad. 2. 1984 by GEORGE ORWELL If you want to know fear, read this book. 3. A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME by STEPHEN HAWKING If you know nothing about science and you're looking for a book that explains in layman's terms the things that the experts say with big grammar without really explaining......this is the book for you 4. WATERSHIP DOWN by RICHARD ADAMS Simple and effective, sometimes the best writing isn't the most complex but the one that touches you the most. You can't read this without crying once or twice 5. A SHORT HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERYTHING by BILL BRYSON From the title I think you get the general idea P.S I wanted to include the bible, but if you don't already know you should read that then you're on a long thing 1 Like 1 Share |
