PHOTOGRAPHY: Photographer Roger Ballen gives a talk about his latest work on exhibit at the OCAD Professional Gallery (on until May 31). The exhibit consists of work from Ballen’s eighth book, Boarding House—a series of desolate images which Ballen’s monochromatic style renders even more sombre—as well as collected pieces from his thirty-year career. Ballen will be available for book signing after the lecture. OCAD Professional Gallery (100 McCaul Street), 6:30 p.m., FREE.

The amount of events this week are bursting at the seams. Keep Toronto Reading is kicking it into full gear this month with various readings across library branches, Lit Lunches, and various One Book events. There are just too many to list here. Visit the KTR calendar to see all event details and plan out your literary excursions. And if you have any kids, you can join Gisèle from TVOKids for various library tours, as well as kids' events at the ROM and Science Centre.

Next Monday, February 4, Keep Toronto Reading will launch its One Book program at the Toronto Reference Library. There will be performances by Soprano Mary Lou Fallis, who will sing popular songs from the 1850s, and Ross Manson who will perform two dramatic readings from Consolation. The event will be hosted by Tina Srebotnjak, who will interview Michael Redhill, author of Consolation. You can check out all One Book events here.

Torontoist is ending the year by naming our Heroes and Villains of 2007––the people, places, and things that we've either fallen head over heels in love with or developed uncontrollable rage towards over the past twelve months. Get your dose, starting Boxing Day and running into the new year, three times a day––sunrise, noon, and sunset.

We stopped by our local branch of the Toronto Public Library this morning to keep ourselves, nay, all of Toronto reading.
