Welcome Note

Hi everyone,

When I was in standard four, I remember my mother giving me a swahili novel, Kufa na Kupona. I read the novel eagerly wanting to discover what was it my mother wanted me to discover. Having finished reading it I straight went to my mother and asked her if she had another novel. She asked me what was it that I had found in the other novel that inspired me to read onother one. "The story mama, I loved the story..." That wa my response.

I was able to discover what was in those pages, the story and ever since I love reading stories not for anything else but stories themselves. When I was in standard seven i had read a total of ten novels: I remember the titles such as KUFA NA KUPONA, NJAMA,IS IT POSSIBLE,THINGS FALL APART, THE RIVER BETWEEN, THE WANDERERS.

I am a witness of what reading has done to me. I am who i am because of among other things, reading. Reading has shaped me greatly and i have and still witness many being shaped positively by reading. Our ability to reason, focus, concentrate, argue,debate strongly results from reading culture. There can be different explanations with regard to why many University graduates either do not fit in today's employment market or fail to/ are scared of competing in the market, however, one strong explanation remains clear: Inability to sell oneself. Its not a joke but many University graduates can not in a sentence state their stengths leave alone introducing themselves. Reading shapes among other things our language(s)abilities.

Love Literature is a forum designed with the intention of sharing articles on reading and writing. It also intends to open more doors to those who love reading to learn of new books and grab them, to share stories about reading and insipire each other. The ultimate goal of this page is to become a forum that connect students of Tanzania under one spirit: READING FOR LIVING. This is just the the begining.

Karibu and be part of this
