For me robert lundlum was the one. Especially Mataresse circle that was quite a plot. His plot had the ability to keep u in suspense from the first page and they taught me quite alot about history and the global spy networks wachana na cid bure kabisa!

I have not read much of late but Mario Puzo still my favourite fic writer, I also love Agatha Christie, especially the "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, I have read this book a number of times!!!!!

Leona Dear. I am shocked. No Mills and Boon? No Jackie Collins?

@Mel Munyua, looks like the original Robert Ludlum reins in www.wazua.com.

Gentlemen, has anybody read Mwangi Ruheni's "When the Stars are Scattered"? It has a certain magic that compells me to look for buibui clad women whenever I visit Mombasa. Very intriguing.

I think i only read Mills and Boon once or twice when i was about 14...but when my Mum got hold of the books,they were banned from 'her' house until we moved to 'our own houses' as she sternly put it..smilesmile By the time i moved to 'my own house' i had outgrown Mills and Boon..so i never really got to read them. I however remember Nancy Drew,Hardy boys..etc
Jackie Collins is also great..In my collection i have Lucky and Chances,very rewindable reads!
Oh,and i'd forgotten to add Danielle Stelle..there's something very interesting about her books. i love them!
Nevermind what haters say, ignore them til they fade away - Just live your life

There are two types of books, those that are exciting to read but not intellectually stimulating. Those that are intellectually stimulate but they are a bore. A good book and a good author consequently a good author is one who is able to stimulate the mind as well as tell a good story. Here is my short list; Gore Vidal, Charles Dickens, George Orwell, Ernest Hemmingway, Paulo Coelho and Shabaan bin Robert.

Asante sana the sage kwa kumkumbuka Shaban Robert. Kwa ulingo wa fasihi ya Kiswahili sidhani kuwa ana washindani wengi. Vitabu vyake kama Kusadikika na Utubora Mkulima vimeandikwa kwa ufasaha na vina mafunzo chungu nzima. Wengine walioshamiri katika nyanja hii ni Mohammed Said Abdala (Bwana Msa) ambaye ndiye tunaweza kumfananisha na mwandishi Sir Arthur Conan Doyle aliye baba wa kachero shupavu Sherlock Holmes.

Nilipenda sana kusoma hadithi za "Alfu Lela Ulela" hata ingawa zilikuwa zimetafsiriwa kutoka lugha nyingine.

"Its elementary my dear Watson" Thats the only book I can remember reading together with my dad. He would read a few of the short stories then my elder brother would take the book and also read a few of the stories and finally it would be my turn.
