junnyjake:I shouldn't have used telemundo. Telenovelas would have been appropriate. When you buy the CDs, they speak Spanish and it's subtitled in English |

Ishilove so u love novels. Wow! That's gr8. I've read only some of these books listed above - Without a silver spoon - One week, one trouble - An african Nights Entertainment - Sugar Girl (who haven't read it? ) - The drummer boy - The passport of mallam Ilia etc, etc Those were the days when youngsters read... Now all they do is watch telemundo |

junnyjake: I remember it vaguely now. Thanks! My parents had a collection of over 100 of such classic novels but my siblings over the years have given them all away cos they don't know the value. I miss them. Is there any other one you have read? |

delors:Jeez! Equatorial Assignment!! I found the book in my dad's bookshelf! I read it so many times that all the actions are etched in my memory. That was the first time I'd be knowing anything about Kenya. The book was simply superb. Funny enough, like the last 10 pages were missing, which means I still don't know what happened at the end. |
