i remember back then when it was raining and the classes will be suspended,i would look for a book to read from my collection of books i found in the booksale.it includes some classics,spy,adventure,animals etc.when i became a Christian, the bulk of books i read are on the spiritual,inspirational and self helps.now, i want to read again and try to catch up...
this is from a book meme in facebook,i don't have a facebook account as i won't have time to tinker with it.I find this list interesting.this refers to a list of 100 books that BBC created.It says that most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.
