I was a busy reader in July! I also read The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters. This book was pretty good and a little spooky but I enjoyed it. The main action of the story took a while to develop and it was never reeeeeally clear what was happening. I guess that is the way to keep the reader interested, trying to pay close attention so they don’t miss anything. It’s kind of like the excellent older movies, like Alfred Hitchcock movies, that are scary for what you don’t see than what you do see (ex. Psycho). Anyway, this was another book I checked out from Duke’s library, the “New and Noteworthy” section. I think I’ll go over there this afternoon while my experiments are running and see if there’s anything else that catches my eye!

I can highly recommend other Grisham books and have several I will loan you if you want. A Time To Kill is a very powerful one and actually was the first one he wrote. Let me know and I will dig them up for you.
Thanks! I checked out two more at the library on Monday. One I finished on Wednesday was called The Last Juror and the one I'm getting ready to start is called A Painted House. The Last Juror was really good! (obviously, since I read it in like 36 hours and still worked for 20 of those 36)
