Are you serious Dan? All his books are "law" related. They're not bad actually though sometimes bland ;).

[Dan #1]

i do not read "law" related books ;) sorry

[parkerville]

danimal, ive never heard of him either

[S.E. Hardy]

One of my friends is obsessed with him. Every Christmas and birthday, I get another one of his books from her. They are still stiing on my sehlf. The only thing that touched them is dust. He's not really my 'cup-o-tea', as it were.

sorry never heard of him.

 

Lots of his books turned into Movies

The Firm (w/ Tom Cruise)

The Pelican Brief (w/ Julia Roberts and Denzel W.)

The Chamber

A Time To Kill

[S.E. Hardy]

He did 'The Client' too, right?

[lcpja]

oh ya 'The Client' I can't believe i forgot that one. It's probably my favorite.

[S.E. Hardy]

That movie freaked me out so much when I was little. I loved it but I remember having nightmares about being killed and put in a trash bag under a boat house. Not a happy memory, but a good flick.

one of my friends owns a few of his books on my recommendation.. shes never read them though.

[S.E. Hardy]

My problem is that "Well, I'll read it after I finish the book I'm reading now." But then I finish that book and start another thinking the same thing. I know I'll read something by him some day.

[Lauren]

you know, i just purchased a few books ive wanted to read for sometime now (classics like the catcher in the rye, a collection of poe's short stories, etc.) and so now ive to read those. i have a list of books to read and i will, just slowly.

[Crusader]

I loved the rye ;)

[S.E. Hardy]

So do I. It's like the Gen-X version of 'The Great Gatsby', which I also loved.

[Lauren]

i enjoyed it. made me want to smoke more though.
