Africa Reading Challenge
January 1 – December 31, 2008
Dave from Siphoning Off A Few Thoughts is hosting the Africa Reading Challenge. He is encouraging participants to read a minimum of six books which:
…either were written by African writers, take place in Africa, or deal significantly with Africans and African issues.
I’ll choose at least six from the following:
- The Translator by Daoud Hari (Sudan/Chad)
- Life & Times of Michael K by Coetzee (South Africa)
- The Only Road North by Mirandette (multiple countries)
- Things Fall Apart by Achebe (Nigeria)
- Purple Hibiscus by Adichie (Nigeria)
- Zenzele by J. Nozipo Marrire (Zimbabwe)
The Yacoubian Building by Alaa As Aswany
The Poisonwood Bible
Morality for Beautiful Girls by Alexander McCall Smith
The Kalahari Typing School for Men by Alexander McCall Smith
