Kachi replied to the forum topic Forthcoming Book from JK Rowling, are you looking forward to it? in the group NaijaStories Reading Club 2 weeks, 5 days ago
It’s not a detective novel and I don’t care about any classification it is given. JK Rowling’s work will always be good even if it is classified as “children” literature.
Personally. I believe that the […] -

to me, the books from nigerian authors cut across the range, from crap to brilliance. the thing is that there’s good stuff out there, but the crap makes it hard to find. we will get there. 9ja stories, I salute you all.

Either sitting on a comfortable seat or lying down. Basically anywhere I can rest my bones to be honest.

That’s the crux of the matter @Chimzorom, books should be written well even if they are just for fun or entertainment. Being entertained by a book in my opinion means you gained something, plus you might learn a […]

I am reading Professor Achebe’s book, ”The Trouble with Nigeria”, and it is a masterpiece. I am particularly inspired by the old man’s incisive, vehement and concise diagnosis of the problem. I am just discovering the activist in him and it is quite refreshing. Please get your copy.

I suppose that is a book I’m yet to read. I enjoy Achebe’s books greatly. I’m reading The Trouble with Nigeria and I tell you the man is incisive and thought-provoking. I respsect him.

@elly and @Seun-Odukoya, I love your comments on this topic. I might have been a little off on my initial conclusion, but it’s relieving to know that my point is understood and set aright where necessary. The […]

There was a time I needed to be alone so as to enjoy my book, I went outside and sat at a shed stayed there till […]

Historicals are my thing, but i rarely find books set in Nigeria that are historicals, apart from Biafra stories(i mean we have a history, or dont we?)
Just read an Heather Graham novel that delves back in time […] -

I can’t say exactly, but wherever I choose to read must be quiet and devoid of distractions.

I knew someone will say toilet. I follow @teewah. It is the bed, sofa or the rug for me. I like to read lying down. After all, it’s pleasure reading. Why not milk it for all it’s worth?

Let me answer your question directly. I think Nigerian authors/books are the same as everywhere else (IN A BROAD SENSE; don’t misunderstand); we have great ones, we have good ones, we have okay ones…and then we […]

@Chimzorom i totally get your point: what’s the use of reading for entertainment if you are not going to come off with anything, especially for children- they need to be able to gain something. I see a similarity […]

I love to read on my bed, the toilet(one of my favs), moving vehicle(especially novels) not me driving though, doctor’s waiting room, office reception and just anywhere comfortable for me to just do it!
