I'm a writer, a painter, and a civil servant (sort of). When I'm not being creative, I enjoy ingesting the creativity of others. Reading is a way of life for me, and I always have one or two (or three or four) books on the go.

Not that long ago, the idea of "keeping trophies" of past reads struck me as insane, and I started donating all my books (except the ones I intend to reread or need as a reference) to the Ottawa Public Library. I encourage others to do the same.
