The books were chosen by 'writers from all over the world', the same way that fellow footballers pick the world best football (soccer) player. This is not a compilation by some frappucino-drinking, tofu-eating, organic chicken rearing, sandals-wearing and Kumbayah-singing wolly liberals!

Things Fall Apart deserves to be on any list of the most important and influential books of all time, regardless of who puts the list together. Congratulations to Achebe and Nigeria.

--Check it out. Professor Chinua Achebe's Things fall Apart is on the list. VS Naipaul's book should have been on the list also. Liberals strike again. But it is a good list. I approve. *cycles away slowly*- IkhideStalk my blog at http://www.xokigbo.com/Follow me on Twitter: @ikhideJoin me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ikhide
