Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart is the most romantic novel ever in the history of mankind. Tears run down my cheeks whenever I remember the only love scene in the book. It lasted exactly 30 seconds; from when Okonkwo swept his bride into his arms, to the glorious end when he growled, "Oya go cook peppersoup or I will use your skull to drink palmwine!" Achebe's famous words are engraved in the canon of great literature: "Even in those days, Okonkwo was a man of few words."
