I've really learnt a lot from this thread. Seen a few authors I've never paid much attention to like Fagunwa and Khalil Gibran, and I was reminded of some others that I promised to catch up on like Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Solzhenitsyn, Tolstoy, etc. One author I've not seen mentioned here is Gabriel Garcia Marquez. His unique style of writing earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in '82. I read one of his novels last year, One Hundred Years of Solitude. It was a whole experience. Kinda bordered on insanity at some point. I don't want to say much. It's a worthy read and he's worthy author. He deserves a mention in this topic. [It's even crazier when you consider the fact that his works were originally written in Spanish and later translated] 2 Likes

BankyGee: This is exactly my favorite. My uncle had a collection of them and i bumped into one and read it out of curiosity and ended up stuck on his masterpiece books. I wud lock myself up in the room reading his books and forget to eat. Funny thing is his books helped me greatly in my assimilation of my school text books. I was in Sec skol then. I haven’t read any recently. John c maxwell books are fine reads for me now Bt I’m trying to expand to sm selected others. 1 Like 1 Share |
