I read Things Fall Apart but we could pretend I didn't and I could read his other stuff?

I'll have to look into that one.
Oh and my username is what it is because I couldn't think of a better username...I'm not trying to be obnoxious.

I'd be interested in reading your thoughts on Children of Gebelawi or Palace Walk.
