Pepper's Picks

I love beautiful language, even if it's a slow read.  A well-written book will keep me interested much longer than a fast-paced dialogue-filled thriller. (I don't like books that sound like they're written for TV.)  I enjoy history and travel books, literature new and old, some eastern philosophy, and occasionally a good fantasy.
