trio of novels
Item:
Three paperback novels, by Sandford, Grisham, and Lehane.
Why It’s Here:
Too much blue on someone’s bookshelf. And the two on the left—both #1 New York Times Bestsellers? You know they didn’t get along. Drama queens, always arguing. “I’m terrific!” “Says who, USA Today? Ha! Darling, The Washington Post says I’m ‘a great read’.” “Oh yeah? Well, well, you’re fat!”
And so on. Intolerable.
Probable Recipient:
Someone who thinks that “King of Torts” is a hilarious pun and not evidence that Grisham is wandering dangerously close to self-parody. Or someone who has been indecisve about their prey so far. Or someone who likes rivers that are, um, mystic.
Okay, that fell apart a little at the end.
It could be a lot worse, though:
It could be the Da Vinci Code.
