What are your five favorite books, and why?
I love all kinds of books, but my favourites are written in the first person: I love any true story that honestly reveals the struggles and triumphs of a life. It can be fiction, but it has to have an element of authenticity to grip me. I do love life's big adventures, the open road... and self-reflecting, soul-finding sort of stories. Characters don't have to be wise, just true to themselves. I really enjoyed Eat, Pray, Love; Long Way Around; Into the Wild; The Mosquito Coast... but I also love The Giver. The list goes on, really.
What is your e-reading device of choice?
I have a Kobo eReader, which is great when I'm travelling and don't want to lug heavy books around, but lately I've been enjoying reading my eBooks on my laptop. I love the backlit screen, which means I don't have to struggle to find good lighting. It's great.
