Mr. Rumsfield 3rd String

I think I really like these books on audio. I don't think I could sit down and read them, but listening to Michael Beck tell the story is what makes it for me.

It was almost as good as Jane Austen's book with the women who want a husband

Rainmaker was my favorite. Unrealistic, but fun to have

Grisham never clicked with me. I like Scott Turow (Presumed Innocent) better

When reading a John Grisham novel you can't wait to turn the page

Did you also listen to A Time to Kill to learn some of the background of Jake Brigance and others?

It looks like Matthew McConaughey is going to return to play Jake in a series based on A Time for Mercy.

IMO, JG was at his peak during his first eight books or so.

Often I prefer the audio books for that very reason. Some are really good.

For a Grisham change of pace I recommend "Calico Joe", especially if you like

Re-watched The Client recently, the acting is tremendous - especially the kid
