Books are the main source of our knowledge, our resevoir of faith, memory, wisdom, morality, poetry, philosophy, history, and science. Daniel Boorstin, former Librarian of Congress

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.
