    My favourite author too. Haven't read his last two because I refuse to pay ridiculous prices. Try to find them elsewhere. Even at the Library, there is a waiting list for the big authors. .

    Grisham is one of my favorite writers. I'd give anything to take a writing workshop from him. I just finished listening to The Partner which I hadn't read in years.

    I hope he writes more books that focus on environmental crimes and corruption. So often the public feels helpless because the law is a mysterious language we don't understand, but Grisham gives us a glimpse...

    This man's writing reminds me of John Grit's writing. His Feathers on the Wings of Love and Hate is so good you are THERE in the scene when you are reading. In fact, you forget you are reading, no, your are experiencing the the scene as you read. Yes, his novels are that good!

    Thank to editor Neal for interviewing John Grisham. It's nice hear him talking instead of just reading his imagination. My first interesting to read his book starting with "A time To Kill" in paper back. A few years after reading, the first edition hardcover worth over $900.00. From that point on I always got the first edition of his books. I hope the book stores in Maine would bring him in to promote the book sales and for autograph.

    This is one of the best books I have ever read. I grew up in the hills of Ky and coal mining was all around my hometown. In fact there was a coal washing plant within the city limits. This book has brought more to my attention about coal mining than even when I grew up in mountains. I could not lay it down for wanting to keep on reading it. I have been into W.Va (Grundy), Thorpe, W.Va. I have also been in the town where the group of boys graduated from high school and left for Florida to work in the space center close by to my home in Florida. This book brings attention to a lot that I never even thought of concerning where coal mining was the way people made their living. If you have not read it, please find it at a library or send off for it. You will be glad you did as history is written in the book that you would never even think about.

    Grisham is a great writer. Just like Bollywood's 3 Khans, these 3 Americans: Grisham,Clancy & Crichton ruled the market with one best seller after other. Great times the readers have had.

    Bon mots. I love long walks especially when they are taken by people who annoy me. Fred Allen. Ive always loved words. Having taken 4 years of Latin serves me no other purpose that when a Roman soldier speaks through me by serving up some odd phrase. I was watching TO CATCH A THIEF and there was a line by Cary Grant that brought forth BON MOTS. One interviewer asked if youd ever consider writing a movie script. Hollywood is in hell right now. Where do we turn but old movies.?

    Gray Mountain: A Novel by JOHN GRISHAM alturl.com/93xiz JOHN GRISHAM is the author of twenty-seven novels, one work of nonfiction, a collection of stories, and four novels for young readers. The year is 2008 and Samantha Kofer’s career at a huge Wall Street law firm is on the fast track-until the recession hits and she gets downsized, furloughed, escorted out of the building. Samantha, though, is one of the “lucky” associates. She’s offered an opportunity to work at a legal aid clinic for one year without pay, after which there would be a slim chance that she’d get her old job back. In a matter of days Samantha moves from Manhattan to Brady, Virginia, population 2,200, in the heart of Appalachia, a part of the world she has only read about. Mattie Wyatt, lifelong Brady resident and head of the town’s legal aid clinic, is there to teach her how to “help real people with real problems.” For the first time in her career, Samantha prepares a lawsuit, sees the inside of an actual courtroom, gets scolded by a judge, and receives threats from locals who aren’t so thrilled to have a big-city lawyer in town. And she learns that Brady, like most small towns, harbors some big secrets. Her new job takes Samantha into the murky and dangerous world of coal mining, where laws are often broken, rules are ignored, regulations are flouted, communities are divided, and the land itself is under attack from Big Coal. Violence is always just around the corner, and within weeks Samantha finds herself engulfed in litigation that turns deadly.
