I just finished The Widow by John Grisham, and I have to mark the occasion, because this is the first book I have read cover to cover purely for entertainment in a very long time.
Not a technical manual, not something I was skimming for work, not a book I started and quietly abandoned a third of the way in. Start to finish, for the pleasure of it. If you have been in a reading slump, you know that is not a small thing.
And here is the part that made me grin: I ordered it from Eason Books, my own shop. There is something genuinely satisfying about buying a book from the store you built and then actually sitting down and reading it. How cool is that?
If you are looking for the one that finally pulls you back in, you could do a lot worse than a Grisham. Mine came from right here.
