Are you an inexorable bibliophile? A book lover? A knowledge enthusiast? A thinker?

Does the voodoo of the written word ensnare you with its surreal allure? Are you intrigued by the uniformed march of alphabets across the enamel-coloured plains of a book? The alphabets, those pygmy match-stick foot soldiers; their march bound by staid commas and semicolons; their hand-in-hand procession from left to right, allying with one other in screaming meaning and substance at the roving eye of the patient reader.

Have you be known to avow, "I shall read 100 books this year!" Only for your bookshelf to become a ghost town, copiously coated with the dust of procrastination?

If you tick all or most of the boxes above, then BOOK-ALA-THON is for you!

BOOK-ALA-THON is the maiden initiative of StayWokeNaija, a budding knowledge-management enterprise aimed at catering for the Nigerian mental outlook, specifically that of the Nigerian youths.

The aims of BOOK-ALA-THON are:

(a) to bring about a comity of like-minded students -- "LASUITES" -- who will read 20 books between 10th September, 2018 to 10th November, 2018. (Classics, Political treatise, Science literature, Commonwealth Literature, African Literature and non-African literature -- Including, but not restricted to the works of Soyinka, Achebe, Adichie, Mariama Ba, Dostoveysky, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Marx, Trotsky, Mandela, Nietzsche, Lao-Tzu, Austen, Da Vinci, Machiavelli, etc.)

(b) to discuss, debate, banter, and critically analyse chosen texts/books -- all in a spirit of comradeship and camaraderie.

Membership is FREE and open to all Lasuites -- faculty, department, and level are entirely irrelevant. The communal study would be done at designated times and on designated spots on LASU Ojo Main Campus.
