The Book Thread

[Grace]

I've got some recycled books today. Have any of you read these authors?

John R. Maxim
Clifford Irving
John Grisham

Did you like them?

I read some of the John Grisham books and enjoyed them immensely.

Halfway through Sum It Up by Pat Summitt - long time coach of the University of Tennessee Women's Basketball team. She was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimers 2 years ago. The first chapter I alternated crying with laughing - since then it's mostly laughs. What a wonderful life she had - what a difference she made to women's collegiate athletics

I highly recommend this one - even if sports isn't your thing. It's the story of a life well lived

I like John Grisham's books for the most part. One book I just finished was "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr. It's about a French girl and a German boy during World War II. It got great reviews. The two characters are in situations where they must protect themselves and they get it done. I won't say any more than that because I don't want to give it away. My mom's book club is reading it now.

Pomtzu, my mom is thinking about Christmas gifts already- I'll keep your suggestion of Max Thompson's Psychokitty books in mind!
