United We Read

February 2002... a long, cold month...

A good time to curl up by the fire and read.

 

You are invited to participate in a Community Reading Event!

The Book: A Painted House by John Grisham

 

What do you have to do? Very Simple...

Pledge to read the book  and then participate in 

 a large or small group discussion.

(Visit the discussion calendar link below.)  

However, if you  choose to only read the book...that is wonderful.

 

 

"John Grisham's 'A Painted House' is the best kind of book. By the time you turn the last page, you're so involved with the characters, you want to know what happens to them afterward."

--Denver Post

Perhaps it's because I'm a city kid, unable to fathom a seven-year-old working in the fields for eight

hours, that I find this book's imagery so compelling... though more than likely it's

because Grisham's personal connection to the story aids him in making everything

so felt and real."
