A wonderful tale
If you like traditional boarding school stories you will probably enjoy this book. Unlike most books of this genre it starts with the school being set up and how it grows.

Enjoyable mystery set in Ireland in 1509 with the protagonist a female who is a sort of judge in traditional Gaelic law. An entertaining book where you also feel like you learned something new!

Rolling Stone's 284th greatest album of all time
Good new-wave album, combining the attitude of punk, with more traditional songwriting and a whole lot of synth. Includes the rocking "My Best Friend's Girl".

A heartbreaking elegy to Nigeria's lost promise
A beautiful and deeply tragic story exploring a family's secrets based in Nigeria. The novel follows four brothers in a small Nigerian village who are given a violent prophecy which shakes their family to the core.

Like most classic African novels in the Achebe-Ngugi tradition, The Fishermen mixes the traditional English novel form with the oral storytelling tradition, dramatising the conflict between the traditional and the modern. It is rather depressing but poignant.
