Things are supposed to happen the way they happen. And the reason they happen the way the happen is because you try to make them happen in a certain way and may or may not be succesful.

The first 7 chapters are missing, so will someone please tell me if it is good enough? Grisham is generally quite a good author.




Of all Grisham's books, only Runaway Jury sucks as much as The Chamber.

Already bought that book but got Telford Taylor's Breaking Wave going on now. For the last 4 months, I've been reading exclusively about World War II, with a couple of exceptions ofcourse.

Alexis wrote:I started on 'MY LIFE', the autobiography by Bill Clinton.

As much as I've read, I can say hes a very graceful and stimulating writer. He writes with fluidity and honesty.

He has a rags-to-riches story. And when you learn about his background and hardships, respect and admiration for him is inevitable.




That's the problem with autobiographies. Try Mein Kampf. As far as I can say, that's the bloody best autobio ever.

Tristan Betrayal and Holcroft Covenant are his best - ever. Screw Jason Bourne - the trilogy sucked.

Just finished Deception Point by Danny boy. As has become norm, it was racy, and fast paced but lacked substance - a complete let down in the end. The man has the gift to write, but he just does not know how to hone it. :roll:
