NO JOHN GRISHAM?

[chief4db]

MAYBE I missed it but I went through the threads and didn't see any grisham. Excellent author in my opinion. A time to kill is a classic. It was written like 25 years ago. He recently wrote a sequel to it called sycamore row. Guilty to say haven't read it yet. He's got a lot of great novels, hard to recommend just a few but I also really like The Racketeer. He was a lawyer so he writes mostly legal thrillers.

I have read both. Sycamore Row is as wonderful as the first. My favorite Grisham novel is The Street Lawyer.

I like Grisham! I always learn something when I read his books. Sometimes the storyline isn't up to par (The Chamber) but they're interesting.

I have, like, fifteen of his books on my shelf-- most hardcovers in new condition. I haven't read a one. Heh.

The Rainmaker is on Encore now and looks pretty good. Is the book good as well?

 

[MadamMack]

I am fan but I stopped reading him for awhile after I read The Innocent Man. A Time to Kill is a favorite of mine and several others.

Oh and, A Painted House is just wonderful.

Yes, I remember reading this years ago, and it was very good.

I re-read this recently and loved it even more.

It is a good novel. I prefer the Mississippi ones though. Love me some Canton. Did you read The Last Juror? That is about the same place in a time before A Time To Kill. It is a tear jerker.

I haven't read The Last Juror, but will give it and The Rainmaker a try. I loved A Time to Kill and The Firm years ago.

What is close to my heart is the Street Lawyer. It is all about homeless people...and, danie, he gets it so very right.

I'm reading Gray Mountain right now. So far, so good. Reminds me a bit of events in Harlan County.

I really enjoyed it, too!

My relation with Grisham started out well, remeber the Firm ans A time to Kill but lost interest because they, i thought seemed to repeat themselves a tad to much and tended to go a little to much on routine. So i stopped reading. But it is possible i just struck a couple of minor books in a row.

I have never read a John Grisham novel, but have seen and liked a few of the movies. I just don't like reading crime drama - or whatever you might call his genre. BUT due to this thread, I did buy Painted House today at the thrift store and am very much looking forward to reading it.

I also scored Book 2 of The Berrybender series by Larry McMurtry. I haven't read the first, but I do love this author, and after reading These is My Words, I'm totally in the mood for some more out west during the 1800s stuff.
