Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Things fall apart was awful

The Name of the Rose and/or Foucault's Pendulum both authored by Umberto Eco

Catcher in the Rye

Of mice and men

Falling Leaves and the kite runner!

Fahrenheit 451

I loved To Kill a Mockingbird and Hoot

To kill a mockingbird is a brilliant book. Definitely recommend to everyone

Things fall apart by Chinua Achebe makes me proud as an Africana.

It's a pity that there isn't a synopsis...if these books are recommended, one would want to know what & why to choose. The picture on the cover?
