lol. Yeah, that's what I was going for.

All I know is that my English teacher wouldn't let me do a book report on a John Grisham book.

Well, they are all pretty much the same :/

not true....

Last Testament and Time to Kill were very good and rather different. Yes, some of the character types may have been intertwined but that's just the genre he writes in. You wouldn't expect to see dragons or orcs in Grisham's books any more than you'd expect to see good lawyers and corrupt officials in Tolkien's books. (though it would make an entertaining read and interesting premise. Wait, didn't Terry Pratchett already fill that void?)

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
