“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
I still can't imagine my life without some books I've read, books have changed me far beyond I can imagine, in books you'll find an immortalized souls engraved in paper, I was writing some days ago on being grateful to God for friends he has put around me, well, am still grateful because those friends end up influencing me to read the more.
Before the end of my Junior secondary school I've already finished all the literature both in English and Yorùbá through to SS 3, amazing isn't it, thanks to the friends I was having then, while I was in SS 2 (Senior Secondary School 2) I've already gulped down all the Harry Potter Series and major books on the bookshelf, am a friend of the state library now shamefully dilapidated.

Books have helped me a lot in ways I can't count, I also was blessed to be fathered by a book loving dad, he reads wide and we have a store filled with old newspapers, encyclopedia and books.
“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
As I grow older, as maktub will have it I fell into the hands of @autofreak the founder of @thinkerspool, this guy is so amazing in a way I can't imagine, we review books every month and he instituted a one book one month selfie.
There are still some books I still yearn to read till date:
- Fahrenheit 451
- Ready Player One
- Daughter of God by Lewis Pardue

I've heard of those books of how they open our minds to things around us, a sort of paradigm shift, a recultivation of mindset.
Yorùbá is a tribe, a language too, some literature have been written in it and they are very interesting, it also boost the knowledge of the mother tongue.

Oww :3 that's cute. Well... I did a search yesterday and I just found the tribe is distributed across great part of Nigeria, and there's a lot around the globe.
And yeah, is that country. Is kind of pretty but the imposed political system and a great extent the growing loss of values, cronyism and conformity of a large part of people, have destroyed it.
