Just finished Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. The book tells two story of the fall of an Ibo "strong man" named Okonkwo. The first is an "ancient" story which tells of Okonkwo's fall from his prestigious position within his clan while the second tells about how the influence of European missionaries plays upon Okonkwo's clan. It was really interesting this is my first experience with African fiction.
Next up is Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray.
