No matter how you cut it, or not matter how P.C. one wants to be, Achebe is a mediocre writer.
This is ironic especially ironic since he took Conrad¡¯s ideas and plot, and then accused Conrad of being racist.
Missy November 3, 2013 at 3:09 pm
Angelique, you are so right about Achebe. There is certainly better African fiction in my view.
I have been told that he is included here because he resonates with the African mindset better than many writers who we might appreciate for craftsmanship and literary skill. I think the book is valuable as social commentary.
KARTIKEYA November 9, 2013 at 8:28 am
Thnx a lot!!!!!!! These books r of a great help:). Any idea as to how much time would it take to finish them fr a thirteen yr old??
Shayla February 16, 2014 at 2:24 pm
Hi,
so I couldn¡¯t find the current list on the college board website and I was wondering if this list is still completely valid and that nothing has been added to it. Thanks,
Shayla

Motivational Quotes of the Day for May 23, 2014
For you to be successful, sacrifices must be made. It's better that they are made by others but failing that, you'll have to make them yourself.
Rita Mae Brown
Dreams that do come true can be as unsettling as those that don't.
Brett Butler
See things as they are and write about them. Don?t waste your creative energy trying to make things up. Even if you are writing fiction, write the things you see and know.
Real Live Preacher
To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
Anatole France
