Finally! I've found some common ground with another FoLC's reading list! (Maybe not a lot of common ground, but at least some!
Alcyone, when I was a student, we were encouraged to read novels that were related to the areas / topics we were studying. (I was a geography student.)
That's how I came to read John Wyndham's
The Kraken Wakes, which dealt with the flooding of London.
I read one of Achebe's books, too, though I cannot remember the name. And I also read Gabriel Garcia Marquez's
One Hundred Years Of Solitude. (I tried to get into books by V S Naipaul (sp) but failed, and Isabel Allende plus some other Latin American authors are still on my 'to read' list.)
But, wow. Achebe and Latin American literature! Thanks for reminding me of them!
