100 BOOKS THAT SHAPED MY LIFE

John Pepper’s love affair with books began when he was a child. He sought refuge and escape in books; he began to explore the world through them; he developed friendships, of a sort, with the authors whose writing inspired him. Over time, he came to know many of his favorite authors personally. As he said later, Reading let me know I wasn’t alone. He began to write about the books he was reading many decades ago-summarizing them, calling out passages that stood out for him, and reflecting on their timeless relevance and lessons. Those summaries, captured in 100 Books That Informed and Changed My Life, are like a fireside chat with John about the books he’s loved, what he learned from them, and what they still say to us today. For anyone who loves to read, 100 Books is a treasure of insight and inspiration.
