I'm "Things Fall Apart" right now.

As someone who never chased African lit, but read whatever crossed his transom, i'm surprised how much Ibo lit i've read.

Good book.

@austern @bookstodon This is not a set of books that will leave you with a good feeling about humans.

Love the New Management and Murderbot series, though. Both still automatic pre-orders.
