John Grisham seems to be able to churn out novel after novel in the way that your gran bakes cakes. (I don't see the big attraction with baking myself...). In 'The Pelican Brief' Grisham has again provided his multimillion strong readership with an absolute gem. Grisham's novels are all ...

As I’ve mentioned in previous ops reading never used to be something I was really into. In fact it wasn’t until about a year after I left school that I really started to read regularly and it was a book by John Grisham that really got me started.
