Terry's 75 in '16

[TMCD677]

Having read 17 books from September to December last year a little fag paper mathematics suggests 75 is a realistic goal for 12 months and a few more books than the 68 ave. last years reading works out at.

Started day 1 in January, now 10 books down and number 11 should be finished today:

#01 - The Confession by John Grisham
#02 - The Litigators by John Grisham
#03 - The Racketeer by John Grisham
#04 - Sycamore Row by John Grisham
#05 - Gray Mountain by John Grisham
#06 - Rogue Lawyer by John Grisham
#07 - The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North
#08 - The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
#09 - Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
#10 - The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry by Jon Ronson

Finishing today:
#11 - Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

After which I'll be starting
#12 - Imhotep by Jerry Dubbs

Good luck on your goal! It looks like you have already read some great books this year!

I read Sycamore Row in dec/jan. It was my first John Grisham book. Not really the genre I go for, but I did like it. What other Grisham books do you recommend that are like that one?

Hi Alison,

I've just finished reading all of Grisham's law series. I've always found him an easy read and he's been one of my favourite authors for a long time.

Check out my favourites shelf (https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...) for reviews, however my top 5 would be:

#5 - The Partner
#4 - The Associate
#3 - Sycamore Row
#2 - The Rainmaker
#1 - A Time to Kill

Sycamore Row is the 'sequal' to A Time To Kill, A Time To Kill being both his very first novel and his very best by a very wide margin. In style and importance it's Grisham's To Kill A Mockingbird or Great Expectations.
