2. I'm trying to get my wife to buy me a Kindle edition of the Confession
by John Grisham.

I have to confess that I didn't read Ford County and wasn't sure if I wanted to read it.

7. The House at Old Vine by Norah Lofts.
Recommended by someone here. Sixty-five pages in since I only started it last night, but so far I'm enjoying it. The writing is really very good.

I know this has been out a while, and I've read his other books, but this is my first time for this one. I'm about 100 pages in. So far, so good.
