Farmerforlife:I read The Invisible Man.... but like you...didn't like it. Now I am living in that space.....and can reflect and appreciate it a whole lot because I can now relate. Added to that.... I often go to the building where the author lived... knows the apartment where he lived...and have heard about him from persons who knew him. This was erected in his honour ... he lived in the building in the background (which has an interesting history)

Wow, I just saw this post the other day and meant to comment on it! I am familiar with each book on the list except for one. I was so excited because, having been a lover of books, "this" particular book was on my reading list when I was in the 12th grade (senior). I had one of the best English teachers ever and she required us to read this book. It was and is required reading in many high schools, private schools, colleges and universities in the U.S. Folks, when I tell you that the moment I began reading this book, I couldn't PUT IT DOWN......I am telling you no lie. There was something mesmerizing, captivating and hypnotic about the way in which Dr. Achebe wrote this story...something that I can't quite put my finger on.... When I tell u that I was saddened when I got to the end.....boy oh boy. It was one of those times where one could read and read and read... Regardless of race, nation, kindred or tribe....if a book is fantastically written....then it is fantastically written... And this is one of those books.... My English teacher had us recreate a village scene where the men (boys) were gathered around...and the women (girls) had to serve them! The girls were very hesitant at first (this is the U.S. folks) but the boys were so proud and happy... We all ate African stew over rice...which this particular teacher prepared... and it was stupendous! I got to college and saw "Things Fall Apart" again! I wanted to scream that I had read the book already and could give a synopsis...but I just kept quiet... This is a well-deserved honor... Although he wrote more books, I honestly don't know how Dr. Achebe could've followed up such a superbly written story..... 2 Likes |
