READING; THE RAINBOW OF LIFE

-
It is of no doubt that reading adds colour to life and meaning to one's existence. Each book read is like a sharpened colour pencil. Although some people are still oblivious to this wonderful fact. 

However, the good news is that we can share our coloured pencil with others by suggesting wonderful books we have read. This is to encourage others to build reading habits.

Kindly suggest and leave a review of the books you've read in the comment section and let us share in your library.

Reading is fun!
Reading is beautiful!
Reading is power!

    First of all, reading for exam is not fun. Edakun. But reading for knowledge, to broaden your word bank, for bragging rights, scientific research, science theories, mindblowing articles, 'ghen ghen' stories/poems...that is orgasmic.

    With that, y'all should read the following:
    - Weep not, Child (Ngugi Wa'thiongo)
    - Origin East Africa - A makerere anthology (Compiled and Edited by David Cook)
    - The gods are not to blame (Ola Rotimi)
    And several others I can't remember right now. These are books about legacy, africa as a whole and knowledge.

      Intensive reading, sometimes, isn't fun. But extensive reading is the main deal😎

      Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's books are usually well detailed and insightful. Have you read Petals of Blood?

    2. Olaniyi OlawunmiDecember 12, 2019 at 12:43 PM

      Ngugi Wa Thiongo's book are the real deal. I think I have. There are so many African writers that transforms history into reality with a pen in hand.

      Yeah. The power of the pen shouldn't be underrated

    All of Sophie Kinsella books cause I can confidently say she has no bad books.

    I recommend starting with "Can you keep a secret?" (Cause her book I read.) Then you can proceed to the "Shopaholic series". Trust me, you're in for a thrill.

      Reading for exam is stressful, I know but we just have to keep up with it. I wish you success at the end of it all.

      Books have a way of taking us around the world with just flipping of pages. I'm glad you can relate.

      Chimamanda Adichie is a renown author and she's really doing great.

      Thanks for the suggestion.

    Notes from underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky. The "underground" of the mind is the treacherous terrain into which Dostoevsky here delves deep, exposing its most buried fears and desires.

SMILE; A SPECIAL GIFT

I have come to realise that one of the greatest gift you can give to someone without thinking of the cost is your smile. Seems so little, right? Yes, but a warm smile can give life to a dying soul. However, smiling should not be limited to our circle alone. I have noticed that most people retracts that smile from those at wrung of the social ladder. Instead of smiling, they frown and say hurtful words to them. But the truth is not everyone can be rich, and those we feel are inferior to us have their usefulness. We all need one another to make life worth living and easier. This new found mentality was what informed my actions sometimes back. Few months ago, I made a decision to smile and greet every menial job workers I meet on my way. From the road cleaners, to the petty traders, beggars and the less privileges. At first, it was tasking but with time, I got accustomed to it. From what I discovered, smiling and greeting them was a source of hope; a kind of message that they are huma

DETERMINE YOUR CIRCLE

  I was going through my telephone address book dated 2008/2014 yesterday and discovered that I was no longer in contact with 90% of the people I had recorded therein. It is not like they became a bad person all of a sudden but there is every plausibility that we outgrew each other's relevancy. Now this is the real deal. Life is in stages and so is growth and development. Consciously or unconsciously, there are numbers of behaviour cum people you leave as you grow. You are not doing this because you feel you can just use and dump them but solely because you need people who shares the same ideology, dreams and visions with you. The people you surround yourself with goes a long way in determining the rate at which you achieve your purpose. However, I smile when I hear people say they keep small circle because they don't want drama. Of a truth, no one loves drama. Having a small or large circle is not the bone of contention but the value they add to your life.  This is th
