I'm currently reading The Runaway Jury, a John Grisham. Finding it quite good, although when I first started reading it I wasn't sure I'd like his style. Found myself saying things like "I would have written that like.." etc. the whole time over the first few pages :p:

I read one of Grisham's books and couldn't make it through another. They are so same-ish. Apparently I read one of the better ones (The Testament) and that wasn't even that amazing..and even staunch fans admit they're all written on the same formula.

I haven't heard of Kurt Vonnegut ;no;

You need to go to the 'Socs' link on the blue toolbar beneath the TSR logo and go through the pages till you find The Literary Society and put in a join request :smile:

Something probably Cambridge related.

Porterhouse Blue.. a satire about a Cam college. Me and Epi had different ideas on which college it was taking the p out of, so I was gathering up evidence for my case :hubba:
