Achebe's classic is a quick and interesting read albeit with a depressingly realistic end. My curiosity will most likely lead me to more of his work and I enjoyed the narrative style. The ambiguities of cultural clash with an obvious misbalance of power and the two different kinda of brutality in the conflict were thought-provoking and painful to read because they were surely even worse in real life.

I've also read no longer at ease which is a continuation of Things Fall Apart but could be read as a stand alone novel. It's not quite as good as Things fall apart in terms of the plot but it has similar themes and the same excellent writing style.
