MacSmart:I understand if its your first time reading SciFi books, same reaction when it came out decades ago but it set the tone for all future SciFi works. It was the pacesetter. |

All splendid books, but the list is missing the Alchemist by Paolo coelho. Khaled Hosseini the author of a thousand splendid sun and kite runner is a man. Someone commented above and said she. And to the person who couldn't get past the first chapter of hitchhiker guide to the Galaxy, what do you consider funny or witty 1 Like |

Re: Top 10 Novels To Read Before You Die by uchennamani(m): 6:19pm On Aug 25, 2016 |
MSMnigeria:Yes. I would readily agree with you. Those books are exceptional, and very in depth in the way the authors described the world of their characters lived in. I would readily pick 'The Kite Runner' as the best of the lot. If you haven't read any of those, then the dog named Buhari is just better of than you. 2 Likes |

It's impossible to pick only 10 books out of the thousands of great novels written in the last century. I can only name three (or perhaps four) random ones that I have really really enjoyed reading in the last couple of years... John Grisham's The Firm Thomas Harris' Hannibal (and Silence of the Lambs) Elechi Amadi's The Concubine 1 Like |
