Ishilove: Yes, it was rude..... What do you mean by "don't be unfortunate"? Was that a threat to him coz you can ban and unban coz you are a mod? Is this what nairaland has been reduced to? I have been watching you newbies cum acting gods for the past couple of years without commenting. Na una go destroy this forum. There was nairaland!!! 2 Likes |

Kingosytex:Indeed he was. I read two of his books: Weep Not, Child, and A Grain of Wheat. Great books. There is also one that nobody is talking about: Sizwe Banzi is Dead, by Athol Fugard - a South African writer. |

GeneralPula:I thought I was the only one with such weird pastime; I gather story books, recommended textbooks, both English and Yoruba, many of which I read in the 80s and start reading all over again....It gives me this unique sense of nostalgia!� 2 Likes 1 Share |

Ishilove: Thanks to Fashola. Go to Youread library, you'll find it there. They have some really old books. And even if it's not available, you can book for it and they'll get it. |

Where can I find this book 'Sauna' by Jack? Its a very old book. And funny as well. The book is about an orphant almajiri boy in the north during colonial times before Nigeria got independence. |

Ishilove:Ah, are you not living in this federation? Check out any nearby dilapidated government school and you'll be shocked to the marrow. Politicians have destroyed everything. As one european historian said, democracy has little virtue on its own - in the hands of good men, it works; but, it in the hands of evil men, it only brings on disaster. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Idaytesj29:It's a very wonderful piece of literature. "That was how Emenike died." That was the last line in the novel. I still remember those saddening words after reading that novel more than five times in my teenage years. I was sad for almost a week the first time I finished that book. 3 Likes |

Ishilove: Passport of Mallam Illia and Arabian Nights Entertainment were my childhood thrillers. I was later introduced to Allan Quatermain (fictional character created by Sir Rider Haggard) and James Hadley Chase, since then I've been an incorrigible bibliophile. Even in this digital age, apps like manybooks, wapfever and my latest love oceanofpdf are my constant companions 2 Likes |

There is a novel I am looking for. It is about the adventures of different knights, I think they're 7 in numbers. They fought different beasts. One of them have oak tree on his shoulder. I read it when I was a teen, I enjoyed it. I have been searching for the title or who can always help me with the title for some time and now. Any idea? 1 Like |
