Firstly, let me just say that I am not a fan of bestsellers\blockbusters and the like, and I loathe authors pushing out more than a book a year. hardly any real writers are born in a world where consumerism has taken its toll on reading as well.
Having said that, before you throw the book at me (no pun intended), please take a moment to consider John Grisham's 'A Painted House'. I don't know why, maybe because its down-to-earth, warm tone reminiscent of Faulkner (!) and maybe Steinbeck (please don't roll your eyes in disbelief at this one) caught me off guard.
I wouldn't say it will stay on my absolute 'must- buy- must- own-and-keep'shelf, but it's a quick pick-me-up read with well created scenes.
Must fly.
I love S and faulkner never read Grisham..maybe I should
