Description

For Tolu Akinyemi, an architecture graduate turned writer, every writer is first a reader, and only good readers go ahead to become great writers. An experience as a boy, growing up in Akure, a town in Nigeria, West Africa, illustrates his early love for stories. His school library had a rule that restricted students from borrowing more than one storybook per time. On Fridays, this meant a long boring weekend ahead for someone who usually finished a book in a day.
