This is akin to asking a father to choose which among his sons he loves best. A paterfamilias worth his salt will not do that.

Mine is E W Kenyon. He is the best author on redemption. He authored the hidden man of the heart, in His presence, the two kinds of righteousness, the two kinds of knowledge, the two kinds of faith, identification, what happened from the cross to the throne, the wonderful names of Jesus etc. If doubt me kindly Kenneth E Haggin.

Send me a Pm via mail so I can give you a site.
There is no book written on the face of the earth that you cannot get there (As long as the author is recognized internationally)
Type in the name of the book (must be spelt correctly) on the search bar in the website and the available E-format would come up.
Then you download.

I always prefer the E-pub format because I have an app called supreader installed on my phone where I read with ease.

InventTech:
Chinua Achebe.

His works are prophetic in texture, ingenious in sequence.

BankyGee:
Literature Titans!
Who is your favourite author of all time? Foriegn or Local.

For me, Rene Raymond Brabazon a.k.a James Hadley Chase is my favorite author of ALL time!

He's the crowned KING of all thriller writers!

50 of his book have been made into films!
He's a legend. He's my mentor!

Keep the comments rolling in!

As a youngster, I read James Hadley Chase a lot.

I thought no other author could surpass him.

But now that I am an oldie, I can't even believe there was a time I was dying to read Hadley Chase!

I just can't find reading James Hadley Chase as fun no matter how much I try now.

The stories seems so predictable and so outdated.

If it is not Second Grade Detective Tom Lepski pursuing any of his numerous hunches, it will be Mark Garland and Malik trying to outsmart each other.

If it is not Herman Radnitz trying to pull of any of his numerous heists, it will be Maddox trying to catch one insurance theif.

If I want to read any good book these days, I will simply settle with either Sidney Sheldon or John Grisham.

For me these days, James Hadley Chase is Strictly for Cash Kids!!!

Gentle0wavez:
William Shakespeare and Professor Wole Soyinka are my best playwrights, Edgar Allan Poe is my best poet. I don't read novels much so I don't have a best novelist but The picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde and the Alchemist Coelho Paulo are my best novels. My worst Novels ever are The old man and the sea by Earnest Hemingway and No longer at ease by Chinua Achebe. These books traumatized me from reading novels again, I hate them Sooooo much.

luminouz:

Wrong.

It's like saying Fela's songs are outdated. There is what's known as classic/evergreen content.

JHC is one of such.
