No, I haven't, in entirety. Usually a paragraph or two tells me what I need to know. I can't stand reading most contemporary fiction, especially by novelists like Grisham.

Grisham is a genre fiction hack, not a shining example of American Literature, and I will stand by that statement.

We'll wait and see, though. Eighty years from now, I wonder if Grisham's work will still be around. Author's like Steinbeck, Hemingway and Twain are timeless. There work survives because of the Quality. There stories are as true today as they were then. I don't think you can make that claim about most contemporary fiction.
