8. _The Racketeer_ by John Grisham

Oct 2013

About 30 pages in. Feels like a John Grisham book...

I gotta say, reading a new Grisham is an experience like reading a new Lee Child: not that their books are anything alike, but going into each at this point, you know what you're going to get and generally, get it. This is not all that bad a thing--there are lots of things I'll keep doing despite/because of the sameness/familiarity.

Listening: _Between Planets_ by Robert Heinlein. Continuing on with his 1950's juveniles. Still being very entertained by them.

2013: 95 and counting.
