I am pretty much like Guka - I mainly read the popular and business press, including International publications.

@Winston, Lakini zamani za kale nakumbuka - nilisoma "Not a Penny more, Not a penny less". I could have sworn it was written by Jeffrey Archer - now that's a colourful character!

I could swear this one was written by Jeffrey Archer. Unless good old Jeff used Mr Grisham's moniker. And yes, it's easy to remember because it is the first novel he penned.

1.angela's ashes
2. into thin air
3. flight k007?
The first one is a pulitzer winner, an autobiography, very moving and full of humour.

This is an attempt at satire by Ludlum. Think there were two or so such books by him that I came across during my Ludlum years. You shall either love it or hate it.
