"Textbooks for a course I am taking dominate my night table, leaving me with little time for leisure books of late, but I could not resist picking up John Grisham’s novel The Racketeer. Grisham’s ability to pull me into his stories in the first paragraph and to keep me reading long past the ‘10 minutes before bed’ each and every night has long made him one of my favourite authors. My next challenge: putting down the intriguing story of an incarcerated lawyer and picking up the book that describes tort law as it relates to real estate."
