Potter's wheel by Chukwuemeka Ike

There was a country

The slave boy

Dizzy Angel

Enu Ego the last two by Buchi Emecheta

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

The adventure of Souza


Cyprian Ekwensi novels

Chike on the River side


No longer at ease

The only Son

A woman in her prime

Things fall apart

Eze goes to school

The city school

Erekosima's school days at Umuahia

Maciver Gibson's Lilliput.

To mention but a few

Those where days when man made books a companion with little or no responsibility to shoulder.

The Bible is almost the Number One for me, but any James Hardley Chase novel is a must read for me. I read dozen upon dozens of Chase novels back when I was in high school. To me, James Hadley Chase's most popular novel is No Orchids for Miss Blandish. But An Ace Up my Sleeves (along with Tiger by the Tail) is another great thriller as well - action packed!

Umartins1:
let us know your top five greatest books and the reasons for their greatness. You never can tell, you may inspire someone to buy any or all of them. Here is a list of mine...... In order of greatness

1. The 48 laws of power, by Robert Greene (for its brutality). This is for me, the greatest book ever written by a man.

2. The Art of War, by Sun Tzu (for being strategic)

3. The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho (for its explosiveness. The book is really deep and philosophical)

4. The Blood Memory, by Greg Iles (for being bloody. This is by far the greatest crime book ever)

5. An Ace up my Sleeves, by James Hardely Chase (for its suspense. The book is filled with suspense from the very beginning till the end. Your heart skips every second of reading)

Can you please make a list of yours?

Mods please, help me with a wider outreach. I need to add to my library.
