I didn't read for pleasure for over 10 years, this brought me back to reading. For way too many years due to the amount of reading I was forced to do in high school and university, I was pulled away.

Another one of my idols is Knowlton Nash, the former anchor for CBC's The National (prior to Peter Mansbridge). He is a tremendous writer and a brilliant man to talk to,
