I have 3 out of the 5 and I've read The Last one. Up Country, I've never read.
Here's mine any way.

Omerta (My favourite Dan Brown book ever) by Mario Puzo.
The Davinci Code by Dan Brown.
Ogboju Ode Ninu Igbo Irumole by DO Fagunwa.
The Sicilian by Mario Puzo.
Arrow of God (somehow I still prefer it to 'Things Fall Apart') by Chunua Achebe. Favourite proverb in it, 'Unless the Penis die young, it shall surely eat Bearded meat grin'
How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Walter Rodney.

That proverb from Arrow of God always has me chuckling aloud. Lol
I’ve read all on your list except omertà. Though I need to read the Sicilian again. Do you have it in pdf?
Upcountry is from one of my favorite authors - Nelson DeMille. I’ve never seen fiction so real. Have a collection of his books in case you’re interested. Hard copies tho...
Re: Name Your Top 5 Novels Of All Time You Would Like Your Friends To Read. by biggieoflife: 10:07am On Jan 23, 2018
I forgot to mention the book that got me reading in the first place.
Scoundrels in uniform - Femi Oguntuase
So vivid. With interesting characters. Read in primary 5 or so and I’ve been reading anything since..lol

Plus one book from Southern Africa about a guy(probably a detective) who infiltrated a village of bloodthirsty locals to rescue a girl who was abducted. Who remembers?

Good books. But the OP asked for novels. I believe How to win friends and Tough times never last aren't examples of novels
