I am sure it is not an oversight, she just expects that everyone assumes you are too well liked to be needing to be put on some list. The rest of us needed it badly.

YEAH!

For Girsham, I loved The Last Juror and The Runaway Juror. I just finished thos and loved them.

For Robin Cook there is Fatal Cure and Acceptable Risk.

These two authors have lots of books out. I bet your library has a lot of them.

Grisham wrote the Pelican Brief from which they made the movie.

[pushka]

Thanks Please...yes I'm very familiar with both authors' names, but just haven't got round to trying any of their books yet...and yes, I'm sure my library will stock plenty of them.

Thanks for the recommended titles!
