An Author's Life

When not writing Saverio spends time sticking needles into a caricature of Douglas Adams cursing the day he first read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.  Saverio no longer cares what the answer is (42), he is too busy trying to figure out the question using 'how' as the preface, not 'why'. 

When first gainfully employed, Saverio dragged his wife and later, growing family, around the U.S., with a pitstop in Quebec too, as he strove to make meaningful advances in the bio-pharmaceutical arena.  When not working, or playing with his children, or shoveling snow (think Canada not Texas), or writing articles for science journals in the wee small hours of the morning he either read a book or fell asleep.  If he listed all those tomes here, he would probably put each of you to sleep too.  A synopsis is this; start with Joseph Conrad, skip two pages, find Georges Simenon, skip to the last page (about two more pages in) and you will see Dashiell Hammett, Farley Mowat, Colin Dexter, Styron, Rowling, and finally Louise Penny.  I am very happy a friend turned me on to Penny’s work.

What was all that gibberish about?  Simple ... go read a book.  It's like health food and it can make you smile.
