freeDR: It is apparent u know nothing. Your inspirational books are not novels read for entertainment and that rule doesn't apply. Among novels' readers, no one book is truly yours. You see one u like, u swap for it. It is an unspoken rule and it works for us. I stocked Piers Anthony, Patricia Cormwell, Stephen King, John Saul, Ed Greenwood, Tolkien...only a couple remain. Moved on to ebooks now. Its just sad that an electronic copy can. never feel as good as ur paper bound prints CarlosTheJackal: Ayam not understanding. Not read past the first pages? Stephen King's books are stuff of legend. I know a couple of movie adaptations of his novels. The recurrent theme of Dean is dogs. That can be a bit boring. But he is good tho |

freeDR: Yeye! You must think very highly of urself to assume that I, emi fun ara mi, am bothered whether u are provoked enough to reply me (whatever that means). I very much doubt you had any sense when u made ur initial comment. Deciphering anything I have said since would definitely be a huge problem for u to get any more than the tacky response u have just given |

happyheart: Hi....pass on the e-books..the joy gotten from hearing/feeling the leaves of a book turning.....dog-earing a book, turning it upside down on the bed while you go out for a bit? Can never be matched by e-reading I say this cos I related 100 percent with your post on book loving, lol...well, apart from the fact that none of my siblings was same way then....I would also use textbooks to cover my novels in class....I was always best student though ![]() I guess that gave me the "nerve" to dictate to you to keep reading hard copies ![]() Cheers 1 Like |

sircrabo: I was gonna respond to your post, but laziness got the better of me....till I saw @introvertme's post to you ...and I had to wade in You say you do not want pictures of places you have never been to(I am guessing cultures unfamiliar too?) I have been avidly, hungrily, selfishly, blissfully reading since I was a very young child...I am a reader (mostly fiction too) I just need to tell you this...from books I got a feel of Europe and NAmerica On getting to these continents, fairly recently as an adult ....the countrysides, cities esp streets, skylines, pubs and etc...cuisines, cultures, even accents and more ![]() One would validly argue that the correct picture of my reading that, Rome as an example, proved to be, was from the screen (TV, movies and all)...to this I say, what about the many, many villages I never saw on screen, what about cities in Scotland that I know only books told me about (way before the advent of the internet)? I can talk about places I have never been....and paint accurate pictures of these, tell you about the culture...India, Canada, Japan, many more come to mind ![]() My point? Do not dismiss reading about places unknown, why, you could find yourself in those places and not feel lost/adrift at all ![]() I also pictured the beach first from books, and also the view of the clouds from high up in there in the skies on a plane...and guess what? Yeah....just like in the books...so just read...except if you really have no interest in reading (find novels a drag)? Then that one I would understand Cheers 3 Likes |

nmreports: I have all these books. . Got a mini library at home . .last time I checked I counted 423 novels. .counted it because my sister tends to lend my novels out when I'm absent from home. Here serving at my PPA I've bought more novels . .adding them to my collection when I get back. I don't like Jack Daws tho ..Ken Follet is my best Author and I have all his books. .even the non-fictional ones. .Jack Daws and Night Over Water were my least favorites books from him tho. .started out well but didn't like the the latter half . . they were good books nevertheless. .just not my best from him. |

Does anyone have this book? Seizing Power : The Strategic Logic of Military Coups by naunihal singh. And jaguar Nana too. |
Re: Number Of Novels I Read, And The Number Bought With My Money by nmreports: 3:34pm On Apr 11, 2017 |
Ashley86400: I have forgotten the characters in Jack Daws but those ladies were awesome. I wonder why you dont like the novel though. Are you male?. I am guessing you are chauvinistic and thats why. Like you dont like female heroines... Thats just a joke though. Jack Daws is actually my favorite from Ken Follet. |

ZarZar:She was worried cos I read novels at the expense of everything else. I dodged my chores and when it comes to running errands, I always came up with excuses. Most importantly, I read novels and neglected my school books. I was an average student in school, sometimes below average cos I 'd rather read a novel than do school work. She was just against my brother and I spending every available time reading novels. |

Ishilove: U just make me catch headache like dat! Where John Grisham n The Odyssey file take jam!? I come dey wonder how e take escape my notice sef! So, true true, ur pinocchio grade high pass!? Inbtw, discovered books at a young age too! Ur reference to Enid Blyton brought back memories(good n bad). Started boarding at d age of 4! Books became my best friends, even on hols! I bought so much, I bought some 3 copies! Reading Pacesetters, Hadley Chase, Sidney Sheldon, Pre-science fiction Ludlum, Taylor-Bradford, Grisham, Dick Francis, Harlequin, M&B and a host of others, have killed d suspense I hope to get in reading modern day stories! Few stories hold any mystery! Some even feel like Deja vu! But, now, btw d internet n raising a family, novels are a lost love! Modified: How I take forget Jeffrey Archer, Federick Forsyth. I need a copy of "d emancipist", not d revised edition. I will come out of partial retirement to finis it! |

ashjay001:Since you are so quick to quote, you should also be quick to notice where I clearly pointed I was very young when I read that novel so I mixed up the names. It is on this thread I discovered that it is Forsythe, not Grisham who wrote the novel. That I even got the name of the of novel wrong should tell you I missed it. |

EMEKA1MILLION: Wow, this is nice, I have read many books, but while growing up, I was all pacesetters, as those were the Dad's favorite. Funny till is that till date, I haven't spent one kobo on any novel. I only receive donations from Dad, Mom, younger sister, cousins, friends, course mates. Only spent on inspirational, educational and business stuffs. It's been a while I read a novel, it's all business for me these days. I think I need some distractions. Please o, you'd help me upload some romance, political thriller, some Nigerian novels if you have any, military and strategy, crime. Just mix up the authors, I'd appreciate it. In fact I just sent you a mail, thanks in advance! |

DesChyko: Great! I'd love to have a little of what you have in your e-library, really want to go back to my former reading habits. If you don't mind to share with me, I'd want some Clive cusslers, Ken folletts, Dean Koontz and maybe some your all time favorite, regardless of the author. |
