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.
