Aih SKerians,you don't read novels?.......for pure entertainment get Harry Potter,(start with the first one so you get the flow of the story).....for gangsta books get the Godfather and the Sicilian by Mario Puzo.....

Men who are occupied in the restoration of health to other men,by the joint exertion of skill and humanity,are above all the great of the earth. They even partake of divinity,since to preserve and renew is almost as noble as to create.VOLTAIRE.

I'm a fan of the classics.....so on a must read list would be;
1. Vanity Fair
2. The Count of Monte Cristo (for those who've watched the movie,please note that they did absolutely no justice to Dumas' work).

Both are brilliantly written pieces of satire!

The economy changes.....good investment principles don't.

Despite reading hundreds of novels,the ones that still stick in my head are the ones I read when I was still in primary and high school. These are mostly local books you can relate to and written by Kenyans like you and me. You are familiar with the names of characters,habits and even locations. Picture this,

Going down river road by mwangi ruheni.

I still remember the first line on page 1 in the book my 'life with a criminal' which was a sequel to my life in crime. It goes some thing like this,' Call me Milly,because he made you believe I liked the name!'

And that's over 10 years ago!

he he he he....
