Novels I have read

Just finished reading "Rogue Lawyer" by John Grisham. When I started reading it, I groaned a little that it was written in first person, but he did a good job with it. Like his other books, he creates characters I want to read about and interesting situations.

More information about the book is available here.

Next up on my reading list is "The Big Short" by Michael Lewis. I have seen the movie and have read a little bit of a sample of the book on my Nook.

It took me a second vacation to get around to creating a video of our May vacation to the Outer Banks, but here it is.

Novels I have read

Finished reading John Grisham's Gray Mountain, the tale of young lawyer Samantha Kofer. Kofer gets laid off from her big law firm in Manhattan amid an economic downturn and decides to take a pro bono internship position with a legal aid clinic in the coalfields of southwest Virginia. Her firm tells her that by taking the position, they will keep her on the books and bring her back when the economy improves. Relocating from Manhattan to the fictional town of Brady is a culture shock, but as you would expect, she adjusts and even decides to spend more time there despite an offer to return to NY City.

I do like the way Grisham leaves her future open. The reader can decide if she will stay forever in Brady or only long enough to finish the cases she has become attached to.

Rogue Lawyer, which was published in the fall, is next. I received it as a Christmas present.
