A Painted House

That is what I hope to have by the end of the summer. It is also a book I just finished by John Grishm. I am particularly fond of this author and thought I have read all his books till I found this in my Library/laundry room. Its practicaly the only book of his that isn't a legal thriller and he prooves he can handle another setting as well as those legal dramas he is so good at. You guys have probably all read this so I won't bother with the details but the setting of rural Arkansas and the time late 1940's early 1950's was really interesting to me. The main character Luke was a little older than me but not by much. The way the story was told through the eyes of a 7 year old and the insight of an adult was really well done and quite funny at times. Mom if you havn't read this I think you would find it very entertaining, being from Arkansas I'm sure it would bring back some childhood memories. I'm sure you wern't that poor but some of this stuff transends money, particularly the religious upbringing, the adult to child interactions of the time, and the small town setting. For me a very enjoyable book.
