I read this on the flight to Austin two weeks ago. Totally up my alley since it is about an iconic high school football coach and the impact he had on multiple generations of players. The former players gather in the bleachers at the school awaiting the death of the old coach as he succumbs to cancer. They slowly open up to each other sharing stories of the coach, not always glowing ones and in the memories of these players, the character of a dying man comes to life. It's an easy read as Grisham usually is, but also as is typical of his writing, there are some unexpected twists and excellent development of the characters. (less)

"VERY handy easy to read guide on what to eat when you go out. That is the main focus - especially fast food and less expensive, popular, chain restaurants. A quick section in the back on basic grocery items too. My 11 year old even got into it!

Don't read this while you are hungry! A short, fun read about a washed out NFL player landing on a team in Parma, Italy. A friend of mine who played a different professional sport in Parma read this before me and said it was a perfect depiction of life as an American sports star in Italy. Grisham apparently captured it all. The description of the food and culture was wonderful and I am serious - you cannot be hungry or else you will want to make huge pot of pasta at 11pm!!(less)
