August pleasure reading

So far this month I have read two more John Grisham books, A Painted House and The Last Juror.  Both were suspenseful but The Last Juror was definitely more interesting to me and had a better ending.  In my opinion the end of A Painted House was a bit of a let-down and the ending felt a bit abrupt.  It was still well-written with colorful side stories along with the main plot so I'm not too disappointed.  I’m still not sure what genre to classify John Grisham books because they aren’t really mysteries or detective novels or anything, I guess they’re just “suspenseful” and that’s their category.  I’ll still continue to make use of Duke’s library because they have quite a few other John Grisham books that I can plough through. 

I also have a book by Kurt Vonnegut that is from the library as well as mystery-type book I saw there the other day when I was returning a textbook.  I borrowed The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo from one of my labmates so I should restart that soon too.  I read the first 80 pages or so the day she gave it to me, but then I got distracted with the Grisham books.  Maybe I just need to stop reading books concurrently and that will solve my problem.

Talking about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo reminds me of this website, which a friend sent to me but I had seen on someecards.com on other occasions – it’s pretty entertaining!
