My further reading plans include Things Fall Apart and Chinua Achebe's novels. I recommend all of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's work – you can read a review of [[Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie|Half of a Yellow Sun]] here. Other collections of essays include Zadie Smith, [[Changing My Mind: Occasional Essays by Zadie Smith|Changing My Mind]] and Arundhati Roy, [[Listening to Grasshoppers by Arundhati Roy|Listening to Grasshoppers]].

|comment=The review of 'The Education of a British Protected Child' in Bookbag was intellectually stimulating.
The review was balanced, but one cannot completely rule out some sort of emotional attachments to Achebe by the reviewer.
The reviewer did point out the flaws in the autobiographical collections with unassuming candour.
Unlike a few uninformed reviewers of Nigerian extraction who used harsh words to condemn the obvious repetitions in the book, the bookbag reviewer
interrogated such flaws with a great presence of mind that would make even keen readers gloss over the structural weaknesses with ease.
Ofcourse, no work, literary or otherwise, is perfect.
I must, however confess, that I was astounded by the rave reviews of this latest offering by Chinua Achebe in almost all the major dailies and sites in the world.
