I have only read short stories by Ernest Hemmingway, and they didn't grab
me. Maybe if I tried one of his novels I'd get on better.
The Rachel Joyce book is on our local bookgroup list, one of our members is
in raptures about it.
I just can't take John Grisham at any price. His subject matter just leaves
me cold. What I've read of "This Bleeding City" reminded me of Grisham
which is one reason I couldn't work up any enthusiasm for it.

Subject: [ebooktalk] Hemingway, Joyce and Grisham.
Hi June,
I have never read anything by Ernest Hemingway, but always thought he
sounded like an interesting person and have seen several books about him
that I would like to read.
I agree with your friend to a certain extent about John Grisham, though I
do like to read one every few years. I think I just read two too close
together this time.
I read Rachel Joyce's The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry after seeing
it on the Richard and Judy list, but I have to admit that I didn't like it
at all. I often find their books very hit and miss. Did you see that Judy
Finnigan has a novel out too at the moment? I'm not sure whether to give it
a try or not as my friends who tried it didn't like it. I may give it a go
if I see it for free somewhere. I haven't seen their most recent list of
books yet.
Shell.
