This is a reading from chapter three of Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebai, Nigerian writer. So here goes. O Conquo did not have the start in life which many young men usually had. He did not inherit a barn from his father. There was no barn to inherit. The story was told in Omuofia of how his father, Onoka, had gone to consult the oracle of the hills and the caves to find out why he always had a miserable harvest

I just went back and realized you started this already with chapter, another chapter, so now I know who it is and all that stuff. So thank you so much. You have such a beautiful reading voice. It's

Because hearing the Language of Chinua Acheba has served as an invitation for me to enter the story and dive deeper. I am intrigued. I want to know more, and I will go find this book. Thank you. Bye

Well, that's good to hear, Tim. That's a lovely story. I get it. When your children don't talk to you about a book, they are compelled to read. Read. I've got a very similar situation here at home. I will read more from it, but I have no intention of setting out to read the book. I'm enjoying the language so much that I almost think as if I could open the book at random and read from it
