Who Here Reads Grisham?
 

I've never read Grisham to be honest but I'm pretty sure it's the same sort of thing as the Da Vanci code and I'm pretty sure it sucks bad. Who here reads his books? Do the really smart people around here read him too?

Re: Who Here Reads Grisham?
 

Well, one can read books like that occasionally and still be considered okay in my book. They're "on the beach" reads, when you have a day or so to kick around. But anyone that only reads books you can find in a CVS is a lit-noob.

good time passing reads. i also like scott turow. intelligence is not measured by the books you choose to read but how you internalize and utilize the information therein...

Unless you read those books with Fabio on the cover.

I have read "The Rainmaker" and "The Partner". I enjoyed both of them, but that was many years ago, before my literary tastes were as rigid and defined.

if you really want to read philisophical novels, i really recommend "atlas shrugged."

The really smart people don't decide that a book "sucks bad" without reading a few pages [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Why are you wasting your time reading Grisham and Dickens. Popular doesn't mean good.
