Just my thought, but I'd like to know of each of your opinion regarding reviewing novels on this board to promote active participation. As most of us are of African descent, it is most likely that novels written by African writers would be the most popular ones. Perhaps, a member of this forum would pick a novel they have read (like Things Fall Apart) critique it and others would lend their opinions expressing their likes and dislikes of the novel. That would bring 'energy' to this particular forum. Let me know your ideas on this proposition.
