Annals of an Eclectic Incredibly Slow Reader
About Me
- J.S. Peyton
- My idea of a good evening, a good weekend, and a good vacation is curling up with at least five good books and reading until "the big hours become little." I'm a compulsive book buyer with the odd habits of smelling the pages of published books and collecting the bookmarks to match.
