Can't say there's a favorite. But I love these writers, and in no particular order : Dean Koontz Sidney Sheldon Nora Roberts. H. P. Lovecraft Mario Puzo Patricia Cornwell Stephen King, because he's like a legend Agatha Christie because she's the queen of mysteries. Dan Brown (smor love) Clive Barker Sandra Brown Finally, y'all haven't seen the awesomeness of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child? Damn! 1 Like 1 Share |

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 The stories seems so predictable and so outdated.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 Girland and Malik trying to outsmart each other. If it is not Herman Radnitz trying to pull off any of his numerous heists, it will be Maddox trying to catch one insurance thief. If it is one one beautiful woman needing the help of one young and ambitious man to kill her rich husband, it will be one man carefully plotting on how to kill his ugly and old rich wife! Damn! 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 1 Like |

InventTech: Prophetic ![]() Only A Man of the People had a prophesy and it was at the end of the novel. It seemed so hastily done that it made it seem like Achebe got wind of the coup plot and quickly wrapped up his story using it. Aside that, none of his other works were prophetic. Many writers have at least one book that was prophetic. |

1. James Hardly Chase

BankyGee: Mine is D. O. Fagunwa, the author of Ògbójú Ọdẹ nínú Igbó Irunmale and others. His style is out of this world. Assuming his works were made in English, he's not in the league of Williams Shakespeare! 5 Likes 2 Shares |

African author... Chinua Achebe Foreign author. George Orwell. I especially like his Snowball animal farm. " some animals are not equal. Some are more equal than the others." ![]() Shakespeare kind of English made his art works very complex to understand. Except for the conversation part between characters. One of his works about Duke orsino, Sebastine and Sebastian.... Can't remember the title of that drama. And then Gods are not to blame by Olarotimi .... 1 Like |

1. James Hadley Chase - I must have read at least 20 of his books. One of the books gave me a headache and nightmares ![]() 2. Irving Wallace - I read the Plot. That's the longest novel I ever read. It was somewhere around 1000 pages. I'm still amazed at how the author masterfully connected 4 completely unrelated chapters. Beautifully crafted with an adult theme. 3. Erle Stanley Gardner - I believe I read more than 30 of the Perry Mason series. I almost chose a career in Law as a result. 4. Kole Omotosho - I just ordered another copy of A new dawn, a few weeks ago. I admire his style of narrating history via prose 5. Frederick Forsyth 6. Elechi Amadi 7. Agatha Christie - I'm pretty sure I read more than 30 Poirot Series. 3 Likes |
