Grisham just write formulaic stories, he clearly his just in it for the money can't blame the man this is what comes from churning out books of reducing quality every year oddly enough his non Legal books are my favorites.
The same thing happened to Dan brown,james patterson,Jeffery archer and Nicholas sparks.

Sounds true. All his novels seems homogeneous.

Seems Nicholas Spark is the author of Message In A Bottle, right?

I tried to read "Mayor of casterbridge" during my secondary school days, but I did not enjoy it. I had to abandon it mid-way.

Lol@ "take sometimes off my phone screen"
I prefer reading in hard copies, so I buy most of the time and borrow once in a while (I buy based on recommendation). I am interested in building my personal library.
I have some in soft copies though. But reading e-books is still pending.
Same here o. We just have to keep up with the literary world.
As per that "ma" stuff, whatever! Jare.

I had a stock of the hardcopy till something happened to them - flood angry

The few I could save are safely in places I don't know . Till now I'm too lazy or too discouraged to start buying all over again when I still have textbooks to buy.

That's why I'm taking advantage of the ebooks.

Ok forgive me, MISS! cheesy

Happy sunday to you too. Ma ke?

You listed his books, so I thought you have read all.

I have read eight of his books.
My best of his works are "The firm", followed by a "A time to kill"

A dozen times? Wow! . I have never re-read a novel, when I still have stockpiles that I've not read. If I am to ever do that, it will be my all time favourites; "Master of the game" and "Tell me your dream" by Sidney Sheldon, then "The firm". But I don't see myself doing that anytime soon.

Lol. I was exaggerating. I've only read it twice grin

That moment when you finish a novel and don't have anything else to read...
The novels I could say I've read a dozen times are Purple Hibiscus, Animal farm, Treasure island, the mayor of casterbridge, etc. Every read is always refreshing.

Yea, I have all his books but haven't read all. You know I need to take sometimes off my phone screen for my dear eyes.

Seems literature texts are competing with human population... Each new titles I come across makes me look like a beginner. Lol.

Btw are you not a 'Ma' cheesy

Was using the app before. Using an epub reader atm. Have you read Isaac Asimov's Foundation? very nice read. I learnt its a series after finishing Foundation's Edge. I downloaded the other books recently. Will dive into it after finishing the Odd series by Dean Koontz.

Nope. Only Robot of Dawn. I have epub readers, their UI are much better than that of 10000+ .The prob is I don't know where to download books in epub... Any idea?

Haven't read much Grisham but my worst has to be The Summons or so Don't think I've been more pissed at the end of the book.

The title of the one I love most eludes me now funny enough. It had a young lawyer that had one crazy case. Think it started with a lunatic that walked into a place and shot some people.

Hehehe. It's either the Kid Lawyer or The Street Lawyer. His story line are sometimes similar; always start with someone raping someone, one shooting another. If someone ask me to narrate , for example, The Street Lawyer, I might end up with A Time To Kill. That's why I need to take a break. The Firm was different though.

Thanks Lady. Your thought is overwhelming.

Christianity Etc › Re: 5 Reasons Why Should Always Pray In The Morning by herald9: 1:39pm On Jul 12, 2015

SuperMaq:
Thanks for your response.

Prayer is more than asking God for things. Many pray amiss because they don't understand the scriptures. When you grow in Christ, you'd find out you don't need to ask Him to give you anything because everything is already yours. Following from your analogy, when the kid grows up, he doesn't ask for food, he takes the food because it's already in the house.

I don't understand what you're saying here cause there's no Christian, even if he grows inward or forward in Christ, he still have to beg, cry,wail and starve for whatever he wants.

Unless you're a pastor wink

And there are different kinds of prayers guided by specific rules. But we won't go into that at this time.

Oh! there are rules and regulations for approaching your father?

And yes, God demands we pray not because He is forgetful or uncaring but because we are the ones running this world: He gave us the authority to run things here. And Prayer is an opportunity to superimpose spiritual realities upon/over earthly situations which may not, at the time, be what we want. Prayer is also an opportunity to make things better for us and for others, nations, etc.

ANOTHER GIBBERISH... Someone gives you authority over everything, yet you still have to beg? Where is the authority? Do you even know what authority is?

I wonder what you meant by 'make things better ' when things are getting worse. Isn't that an evidence that you've been murmuring to your roof?

So you see, prayer is much more than "Lord give me this and that. Do this and that for me". One can pray for an hour without asking God for anything.

If you pray for one hour without asking for anything... What are you saying? SOME MORE GIBBERISH.

Prayer is a subject most or us need to have an accurate understanding of. I prayer this morning for about a hour, mostly in other tongues, and I didn't ask God for anything. There are levels and like I said earlier, there are different kinds of prayers.

You didn't ask for anything because you didn't even understand what you were muttering...HIGHEST FORM OF GIBBERISH.
It seems people invented speaking in tongues because they weren't sure whether their god understands English, French, or their various local languages. Highest form of confusion and uncertainty.

To add to your speaking in tongues, you should learn Aramaic, that's the language Jesus spoke... He might understand you better this time. wink

Thanks.

Long time.

Have you read all Grisham novels?
Which is your best Grisham novel?

Good morning and happy Sunday Ma.

Not all, but have gone far.

Can't really say which is my best cause one seem as good as another. If I'm to choose I'll go for his first novel, A TIME TO KILL cause have read it a dozen times.

How many have you read and which is your favourite.

Christianity Etc › Re: How Our Pastor Used Us To Fake Miracles – Victims by herald9: 2:17pm On Jul 11, 2015

You connived with the pastor to deceive the masses and rob them of their hard earned money, when he failed to pay, you started playing the victim.

Those guys should be jailed. After all if it was successful, we wouldn't have heard about it.

And one of the mofos had the guts to say that he did it because it was better than robbery. WTF! Does he think he needs to use gun before he robs?
They combined different devices to rob those gullible members: delusion, illusion ,419 and ended up being 419ed themselves.

Purple Hibiscus was a really good book. Mine Boy as well.

Animal Farm is a really interesting one...I initially read the book as child, and with a child's understanding. I even watched the cartoon back in the day on Channel's TV. It was only when I got to SS2 and re-read the book, that I began to understand the allegory for the origins of communism...with Napoleon and Snowball representing the Lenin-Trotsky relationship.

It was like my eyes just opened for the first time, and I read and re-read the book over and over...Farmer Jones represented Tsarist Russia. The constantly changing rules represented Lenin's sociopathic approach to leadership, and the scene at the end where you couldn't tell the pigs from the humans, in my opinion might represent Khrushev's attempt to steer the USSR away from Lenin's legacy.

Boxer the horse in particular, to me represents the stupidity of the utterly indoctrinated, unquestioning pleb...and can be seen to iconize the congregation at some churches,some boko haram members, and some of the Tanoids we see in the politics section of this forum today.

Wow. This is eye opening. I read the book in my SS too. I knew there was more to the book but I just couldn't connect it. The last part confused me the most as I couldn't understand what the author meant by the changing faces and the screaming. Thanks for sharing, I'll do a little research on it.

*modified
You need to read A Man From Mars too. With an open mind like yours I know you'll easily get the drift.

Literature › Re: What Book Impacted You The Most? by herald9: 11:42am On Jul 11, 2015

The first book that really impacted me was Purple Hibiscus by Chimanda Adichie. I admired the character of Amaka. She was culturally-bound, she knew the importance and appreciated her inherited cultures and traditions to a point of refusing to take on a Christian name in order to get baptized, therefore, she ended up not being baptized along with others. She questions everything western much to the detriment of her mum. That was a character!

The next novel was Half of the Yellow Sun by the same author. That book left me moody for days.

Then A man from Mars. Uhm, I'm that bad at cramming author's names, I just go straight to the business.

The Mine boy by Abraham Peters or Peter Abrahams.

The other is Harry Potter, Animal farm, etc.

Charleschidera:
Bro, is not as if God don't know his work again. But remember in Bible (Matt 7:7) He told us "Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find"

So prayer is a kind of asking and Thanking Him is a kind of appreciation.

Thanks for your understanding and God Bless You.

Lol. It's obvious he just loves the teasing. He likes it when people constantly remind him of his importance. That's why religious folks be asking you to pray fervently if your prayers are not answered. And you wonder why a loving god will keep his loving son/daughter waiting in a desperate situation.
