Just finished

(Just found this pic, had never seen it, but will share, just to prove the "prettiest kitty ever" claim)
my book, "The Innocent Man", by John Grisham. I've read all of Grisham's books, and enjoyed every one. This was a little different, though, being his first non-fiction work. I spent the morning trying to stay busy cleaning and fixing, but when that was done, decided I needed to keep my thoughts from dwelling on Sophie, so I dug out my current book. It did rearrange my thoughts, but reading about a man falsely convicted by an incompetent police department aided by a corrupt prosecutor, gradually going insane on death row, wasn't exactly what I needed. Kinda depressing. He was eventually exhonerated, but spent 12 long years as a victim of the Oklahoma judicial system. Pretty scary. I've dealt with Southern cops and believe me, it is a different world down there, especially if you have long hair. Whatever, it got my mind away for awhile, but it's another book I wouldn't recommend. Not boring, but depressing. Don't need that. May take Cyndi's advice and go with Ann Rand's, "Atlas Shrugged" Am open to suggestions. Thoughts anyone???

You can't go wrong with any of Ayn Rands books. She is long gone but what a great writer!
I also have a book by Pat Conroy you could borrow. True story.

I definitely second this - I'll bring over the Rand next time we get together for dinner!
If you enjoyed reading The Innocent Man as I did, may I suggest reading the companion book to it. Here is something I wrote about it: Who And Where Is Dennis Fritz, You say after reading John Grisham's Wonderful Book "The Innocent man", Grisham's First non-fiction book. The Other Innocent Man hardly mentioned in "The Innocent Man" has his own compelling and fascinating story to tell in "Journey Toward Justice". John Grisham endorsed Dennis Fritz's Book on the Front Cover. Dennis Fritz wrote his Book Published by Seven Locks Press, to bring awareness about False Convictions, and The Death Penalty. "Journey Toward Justice" is a testimony to the Triumph of the Human Spirit and is a Stunning and Shocking Memoir. Dennis Fritz was wrongfully convicted of murder after a swift trail. The only thing that saved him from the Death Penalty was a lone vote from a juror. "The Innocent Man" by John Grisham is all about Ronnie Williamson, Dennis Fritz's was his co-defendant. Ronnie Williamson was sentenced to the Death Penalty. Both were exonerated after spending 12 years in prison. Both Freed by a simple DNA test, The real killer was one of the Prosecution's Key Witness. John Grisham's "The Innocent Man" tells half the story. Dennis Fritz's Story needs to be heard. Read about how he wrote hundreds of letters and appellate briefs in his own defense and immersed himself in an intense study of law. He was a school teacher and a ordinary man from Ada Oklahoma, whose wife was brutally murdered in 1975. On May 8, 1987 while raising his young daughter alone, he was put under arrest and on his way to jail on charges of rape and murder. Since then, it has been a long hard road filled with twist and turns. Dennis Fritz is now on his "Journey Toward Justice". He never blamed the Lord and soley relied on his faith in God to make it through. He waited for God's time and never gave up.
