Girls Talk - All Time Favourite

Seriously, only one all-time favourite book?

This is a hard task. It is almost impossible for me to choose. Usually when I love a certain author, I'd read his/her range of books over and over again. But if I must choose, okay then.

Hmm....the best recollection I have of the most reads I've had of one book is - The Pelican Brief by John Grisham.

I don't know how many times I've read this story. I've lost count after the first five times. And I don't even own a copy of this book. The story is just so compelling and stays vivid in my mind. It probably also doesn't help that I've watched the movie a couple of times and so everything is made unforgettable, firmly imprinted in my thoughts.

The gist of the story, as borrowed from Grisham's official site:

"In suburban Georgetown a killer’s Reeboks whisper on the front floor of a posh home… In a seedy D.C. porno house a patron is swiftly garroted to death… The next day America learns that two of its Supreme Court justices have been assassinated. And in New Orleans, a young law student prepares a legal brief… To Darby Shaw it was no more than a legal shot in the dark, a brilliant guess. To the Washington establishment it was political dynamite. Suddenly Darby is witness to a murder — a murder intended for her. Going underground, she finds there is only one person she can trust — an ambitious reporter after a newsbreak hotter than Watergate — to help her piece together the deadly puzzle. Somewhere between the bayous of Louisiana and the White House’s inner sanctums, a violent cover-up is being engineered. For someone has read Darby’s brief. Someone who will stop at nothing to destroy the evidence of an unthinkable crime."
