Ben Jackson

I'm a student, studying Law at University of Ibadan. I'll turn twenty-one hopefully by April.

I'm a big fan of literature and have been following this forum for five years now especially following the Nobel Literature speculation where I discover great modern writers ( the only writers I know are mostly the classics or writers I studied during primary and secondary school days, some of them not very popular).

I started reading serious literature from the age of fourteen, including Nobel prize winners and, of course, the classics from every continent which has helped shape my intellect. Favourite writers and influences range from Wole Soyinka, favourite writer from my country Nigeria, to Samuel Beckett, Camus, Pablo Neruda, Octavio Paz, Joyce and Christopher Okigbo.

I've glad to be part of this forum, the best anywhere in terms of dissecting literature.
