Are you familiar with Technical Damage?
You'll always feel better checking in with any of friends from The Great White North. Instead of discussing the minutiae of their record, Kurtis Jeffrey was good enough to talk to us about what books he's been reading.
1. I try to read at least two books per month, and mostly fail, what's your goal and reality?
A goal that I've been facing an upward battle with recently is taking care of my personal health. A demanding job, busy lifestyle and the constant mental gymnastics I use to justify "down time" prevent me from seeing certain specialists who I know would improve my general quality of life.
This includes eye doctors, massage therapists.. The little things that you don't realize you need until later. I'm trying to curb this habit so I can enjoy life to the best I possibly can!
2. Encyclopedia Brown and Choose Your Own Adventure books were a big part of my childhood. What did you read back in Elementary School?
Goosebumps was a big one for me. There was a large diffusion of American authors into Canadian culture who wrote novels for young adults, and few did it as successfully as the great R.L. Stine.
I won't ever forget "Stay Out Of The Basement" and "The Haunted Mask".

3. It's no secret that I think Harry Potter is an amazing saga, but it wasn't until after the movie for Chamber of Secrets was released that I began reading the books. What was the big thing you were late on?
I was really late to the "A Song Of Ice and Fire" novel series. It wasn't until the Game of Thrones series came up in the early 2010's that I really dived head first into the books.
"A Storm of Swords" is a particular favourite of mine. Any story by Philip K. Dick, too.

4. My local library is amazing and I'm there pretty frequently. What do you like about your library?
Variety. There's a huge blend of non-fiction and fiction in the libraries of Vancouver. I am a big history buff, and being able to make my library a one stop shop for books that are both informative and creative is great.

5. Comic Books. Which ones are you reading?
The new movie made me go back and revisit Venom's "Lethal Protector" series. I love that shit, and the saga with the Life Foundation and the other symbiotes is an exciting read (and a big throwback to me when I was a kid growing up with that character).
I also love the Punisher MAX series - there are few comic books that are as gritty and grounded as that run.

6. What author can you just read again and again?
The obvious choice here is Stephen King. I've read his stories and collections of short stories so many times, it's hard to count. Other candidates include Philip K. Dick, Aldous Huxley, some of Dean Kootz's older stuff, and H.P. Lovecraft.
