Shoo! For this computer age, people still dey read hardcopy novels?
I've got about 50 e-novels of the best authors ranging from danielle steele, robert ludlum, frederick forsyth, john grisham,Jeffrey Archer, dan brown, sidney sheldon, judith McNaught, jackie collins etc on my lapy, so its being long I read a hardcopy novel.
The only thing is everytime I switch on my lapy with the 'supposed intention' of reading one of my novels, I end up watching a film instead.
I'm afraid my reading habit has gone down over the years.

Hmmm, I just finished re-reading The 11th Commandment by Jeffrey Archer though. Its my favourite J.Archer and I first read it around '99.

I've just started on another espionage novel - Icon by Frederick Forsyth. So far, so good.

guy, how far. . . . abeg send me d book nah!?

no be 4 mouth dat MJ guy dey very great,
if anybody like make im hate,

but to say thank you,

Got a couple, mostly sci-fi and thrillers; a couple of Grisham's. . . . looking for any1 who can lend me "Pillars of the earth"

@ poster,

since u knw all d (in)formalities in ur native language, simply write and translate to english abi!?

okay disregard the other. . . . this is the real lesson #2

repeat to yourself and reply:
"u don chop?"

Correction for Lesson #1:

"How una dey?" = How are you folks/guys/girls/peeps doing? *at least thats what i meant

"una" - mostly used to refer to more than one person
"dey" - in this context, refers to present condition; physical, mental, whatever. . . . .

good, strong stuff. . . . . bare and dowright honest!

nice 1 bliss!

amy120705:
it means how r u 2day i fink, if it dus, i dey kampe

wrong and right. . . . . . .

slightly wrong interpretation but a very appropriate response all d same.

Lesson #2:
oya answer. . . . "u sure sey u neva waka with agbero 4 inside isale eko before "

@ poster,

oya lesson #1 - begin to repeat anything wey i write to yourself. . . . . . .

"How una dey?"

"A person just doesn't consist of what they choose to show u. . . . . "

Tatase:
This is one of my favourites; it's really good, if a little violent.

Did you also read World Without End which was kind of a sequel to it?

Nope haven't read that. . . . . any ideas where i could get em both!? a loaner maybe!?

Suzanne84:
The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

Read that book a long time ago. . . . . . sure would love to read it again - any chance i can get it off you when you finish pls !? My brother and I are absolutely crazy about that book!

Guys. . . . . Think y'all need 2 have a look @ dis "terminal games" book; there's scenes in there dat can be likened 2 NL. Pretty hilarious!

"terminal games" - cole perriman.
A good 1 - suspense, intrigues. . . . Spell-binding stuff dat cyber geeks will surely dig!

My peoples, una don yarn am finish,
Make i no attempt 2 diminish,
Wether primary, secondary, uni or poly,
Baba na im get all d glory,
As una advise make i dey write short,
Na im i sey make i hol' d thot,
Cuz if i begin download,
E go resemble achaba wey carry overload,
I wish una all correct day,
Any matter wey ur hand dey, go flow ur way. . . . .
