Root by Alex Haley right?

ObalendeCMS:


Could this be a book about a poor mallam that lost his betrothed to a rich man and then went in search of an herbalist to help render their only child useless?

It's been long I read that book, but a phrase I will never forget I read in the novel was when the betrothed told the poor Hallam that, a woman is like a cloth in the market; it's not the first person that price it that eventually gets to buy it.

Damn! That phrase stuck to my mind, though I was in pry 4 then when I read the book.

That's African Nights Entertainment

Please where can I find the book Beyond Pardon, I can’t find it on ocean pdf

Great list except for the Harry Potter thing. Didn't read but I try to avoid books that seem to actively promote witchcraft or the occult. Have read all the rest except for Dean Koontz who is a bit too dark for me. Bertha M. Clay is just sensational, and I recently began to read her again under her USA alias, Charlotte M. Brame. Btw, have you tried the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen R. Donaldson?

Oh, not read Segun O either

Thanks. If you look at it critically though, Harry Potter is in the same fantasy genre as the Chronicles of TC which you liked. The message in HP is overwhelmingly a battle of good against evil and the value of having friends who are there for each other through thick and thin. The "witchery" was just a unique commercial angle and I can tell you that nobody feels sympathetic to witchcraft after reading that book.

By the way, first time I read HP, I spent over 24 hours continuously eating up the over 1800-pages volumes without food. No other book could have made me do that.

Yeah Dean Koontz is a bit dark but what will you then say about Stephen King lol. Truly I got a bit tired of Koontz novels after a while but By the light of the moon is quite different from Koontz's regular horror vibe. It is an actual thriller and was completely hooked all through.

I haven't read the COTC series. I have only come across its reference several times just as J.R Tolkien's lord of the rings.

If you like epic adventure and enlightening scripts, please read Shogun. It's voluminous but worth the read as an all time classic.

Problem is novel is too long more like a continuing series

ThierryJay:


Beyond pardon was the most emotional romance story I read. Lord and Lady Eleanor Rydal. I could visualize the scenes with the way the story was told. A true classic.

You mentioned and still didn't mention Sir Lionel Rydal 😂 .

Kane and Abel was a master class man.

Sydney Sheldon is my all time favorite but between those two you listed Kane and Abel was the best, but not as great as wind mills of the God and [/b]master of the game by Sydney Sheldon[b]. Same bloodline too. I read those books over 5 times each.

I it. Never read the book, but saw the movie many many years ago on VHS. Lovely story. It had two female twins later on it, Alex and Eve I think.

patchsk:

You didn't mention Sir Lionel Rydal lol.

That's the Lord Rydal I was referring to nah

The port of mallam illiya.

ThierryJay:


That's the Lord Rydal I was referring to nah

Please where can I get the book? Thanks

Juliearth:
All of James Hadley Chase's series and recently, I am more invested in reading novels by Nigerians.


PS you can any and every book from ocean of pdf.

Thanks for the tip of where to any novel.

Just ed harry Potter.

I absolutely love Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. I first read it when I was 17 and wrote a paper on it for one of my classes in the 12th grade. I became a huge fan of Dostoyevsky and have also read
The Brothers Karamazov and The Idiot. This man was a phenomenal writer! Russian writers are geniuses, which's why I also enjoyed reading Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, and Anna Karenina.

Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes is also dope!

And oh yeah, I have read a ton of Shakespeare's plays!

If I start listing all the books I've read, I'll be here all day.

I've a bit of down time now and have been meaning to go to the bookstore to get a couple of novels. I'll certainly do that sometime this week!

kunleiky:

Root by Alex Haley right?

yeah best novel i ever read made me hate the white men for life

ThierryJay:


Brother, few years ago, I stumbled on a bookshop and took the opportunity to buy several classic storybooks (pacesetters and the likes) out of nostalgia. But they've been gathering dust since on my shelf, it's like I've missed that window for enjoying them and don't want to spoil it.

I assume you are referring to Sidney Sheldon. He's untouchable to me. His use of short punchy sentences to create suspense and emphasis is unrivalled. Very unpredictable to the extent that he became predictable with his unpredictability.

Bloodline, oh my God!
That bloodline was something else but try and read the windmills of God by Sydney Sheldon.

The Catcher in the rye

Wegums:


Please where can I get the book? Thanks

Not really sure. I was like 14yrs old when I read it.

Check if you can find it on oceanofpdf.

ThierryJay:
