>>Not a penny more, not a penny less(John Grisham)<<

I could swear this one was written by Jeffrey Archer. Unless good old Jeff used Mr Grisham's moniker. And yes, it's easy to remember because it is the first novel he penned.

The first one is a pulitzer winner, an autobiography, very moving and full of humour.

The Road to Gandolfo (Robert Ludlum)

am a sucker for Ludlum but I havent seen this one yet.


This is an attempt at satire by Ludlum. Think there were two or so such books by him that I came across during my Ludlum years. You shall either love it or hate it.
He who can express in words the ardour of his love, has but little love to express. - Petrach, Son. (That men by various ways arrive at the same end. - Montaigne, The Essays of.)
