I think you will really like Painted House. Let me know what you think.
That was such a wonderful story. I sorta wanted to live on that farm.
Yes, if I remember correctly, the setting was kind of Grapes of Wrath-ish.
Shhhh, Dana Jean will hear this... (Joads, they're bloody everywhere)
Okay, I have to admit that I haven't read The Grapes... and so don't know what this means, nor whether my previous post made much sense.
I just associate The Grapes of Wrath with Dana Jean... she, uh, might not like this actually?
She'll love it! We're still trying to figure out what the symbolism of the turtles is tho....Okay, I have to admit that I haven't read The Grapes... and so don't know what this means, nor whether my previous post made much sense.

Nope, no Grisham for me, thanks. Courtroom drama puts me to sleep, in any form. Can't stand it.
Not sayin anothing wrong with it, mind--just ain't my cup of mud.

Not all of his books are about courtrooms. I loved discovering this myself.
Another one to try
I really liked A Time To Kill and The Firm, but don't remember the details of any others (though I know I read a lot of them) until An Innocent Man. Playing for Pizza was godawful, so I gave up on him. It would be nice to read another strong one by him.
Grey Mountain is sorta different. It is his recent one. Cannot send it though cause it weights a ton lol. Did you read yer Harlan yet?Another one to try
Try a time to kill. Great book.
Yea, playing for pizza for just garbage. Don't know what happened there. I just finished the client and I liked it. 4 out of 5.Another one to try
Grisham is third on my favourite list of authors. Just started to collect the hardcovers. At VV a few weeks ago they had
a 50% sale and Buy 4 get 5th Free too. Bought at least 10 of his hardcovers in very good condition for $1.50 each. Good
start to the hardcover collection.

if you don't mind can you rank in your opinion his best to least of the ones you read. my favorite is a time to kill and racketeer but I heard a painted house is awesome but havnet read it yet
Sure; as far as books go I thought 'A Time to Kill' was his best too. Then The Firm, The Brethren, The Rainmaker, The Client, Street
Lawyer,The Summons, Runaway Jury, The Appeal and The Last Juror. That's my Top Ten of what I have read.
I saw the movie 'The Rainmaker' last weekend and thought it was very good.
Haven't read the Theodore Boone books, yet. Have you and if so, what did you think of them?
The Worst: Skipping Christmas, Playing for Pizza and I didn't like A Painted House either.

Do you remember telling me the titles for the History of the Mayfair Witches? Well I spotted 2 of the 3 (paperback) on a local website
that posts books among other stuff. I called the lady but you have to buy all 60 of the paperbacks she has for sale and the other 58
are of no interest to me. She wanted $100. for the 60. She had posted several pictures and all the books are in poor condition.
Just had an email from JG's website. His new book 'Rogue Lawyer' is introducing a new character.
I liked the innocent man, King of torts, and the appeal to name a few
