The First Eagle by Tony Hillerman
The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt
The Wild Duck by Henrik Ibsen The Firm by John Grisham ... a great genre writer, an heir to Jim Thompson and Dashiell Hammett
The best assessment of Dan Brown said he was "John Grisham with pseudoscience thrown in." It's been a long time since I read it, but would John Grisham's The Firm qualify? (wrong touchstone) #20 usnmm2...In my unpacking I found a few more of John Grisham's novels. I am about half way now and getting somewhat into it again. Really hard to know where this story is going, so don't give me any hints. A lot was not being said.

I have been through with Grisham for quite some time because I have read everything he has that I want to read.
I think I am going to do my Steinbeck that I am working on: The Log from the Sea of Cortez, the current segment (which I've yet to begin, but will do in an ... ... were all as good as those I named above.

A lot of John Grisham's books take place in the south. Carl Hiaassen writes about south Florida. Then there's always Gone With the Wind and To Kill a Mockingbird. 13. The Summons by John Grisham ... and legal/law/mystery/thrillers. So we can't really share books and discuss our reading too much. Sarah and I both like John Grisham and that type but I don't like a steady diet of them. So it is kind of like being the only christian in the family. Who do you talk to about God?

Happy reading and blessings on your day.
N/B Thanks for the clarity re. the Grisham book.
Also, I wanted to say that your review regarding the book Giraffe has haunted me and I decided that I will read the book. I was able to obtain a copy via bookcloseouts.com for a very reasonable price.
I have read many of John Grisham's novels but never heard of Playing for Pizza. I am not a football fan but love works by John Grisham. I might add that to my ever growing wish list. ... that fit in to their own sub-genre, why would John Grisham write books like Skipping Christmas, A Painted House or Bleachers which do not involve any courtrooms or lawyers? Or why would Jeffrey Archer write The Gospel According to Judas? It's a poor argument.

After I finished Bleachers, I picked out a book, Air Apparent but took the night off from reading. I think I have been doing a book a day all week.

Skipping Christmas by John Grisham I am reading a book now that no one in LT has read. I kinda feel sorta special.
It's called Skipping Christmas by John Grisham. I have only read the first chapter and I know I am going to like it. Seems like an easy read and just the book I want to read this time of year. 21) A Cedar Cove Christmas

Thanks!
Karen ... I don't write a book like that. (yeah, right!) Other good popcorn for me are suspense/mystery novels: Patricia Cornwell, John Grisham, Eric Lustbader come to mind. I always have a few of those on the TBR pile. One of these days my Shopaholic book will call to me.
