Awesome list! I read three books from Nicholas Sparks late last year when I decided to move on. I’m now in the middle of reading the whole John Grisham bibliography. It’s quite a read. My favorite book is still The Firm, which I read years and years ago. It has this cultish feel to what Mitch, the main character, goes through. Him trying to get out of the firm is like a member of a church trying to get out after finding out it’s actually a cult. I enjoyed that aspect of the book. But more importantly, he has a wonderful way to capture a reader’s attention!
