I don't know how I missed the boat...
On John Grisham.
After all the books I have read and all the trips to the bookstore who knows what happened along the way, but I just never started reading his books. Probably because he wrote his first book way before I was born and, as I have mentioned before, I have an obsession with starting with the very first book an author has written and making my way towards the most recent.
Of course, I know who he is and have heard of him. I know a good amount of his books have been made into movies and have even seen some of them, but I just never started reading them.
Well, that all has changed two weeks ago and by extension I am a changed person. I am obsessed with them and can't wait to keep reading in my spare time! Last week I finished "A Time to Kill" and am already almost done with "The Firm". I am hooked!
"A Time to Kill" had me mesmerized by the struggle between fighting for family and doing what is lawful. I read it in perfect timing with the Caylee Anthony trial and the whole thing had me thinking about what it must be like to be a juror in a trial that has the whole country deciding what is right and what is wrong. Both juries were sequestered and kept from the comforts of home, their families, their jobs with the weight of someones life in their hands. If you haven't read this book, you really need to!
