A couple of weeks ago my friend and I were talking and we both realised that neither of us have read anything by Chinua Achebe or Wole Soyinka. Shameful I know! Well it's a New Year, and while I've never been big on resolutions, I'm really big on challenges. So I'm going to celebrate the icons. Once a month, I'll read an iconic African author. And by the end of the year, I will no longer say I've never read Achebe or Soyinka. Happy New Year!
