I gave up on John Grisham a long time ago for being too predictably formulaic, but I was caught in a weak moment at the bestseller rack, in the mood for nothing heavy, and lured by the idea that his newest book was non-fiction.
It's fiction. The Author's Note at the end of the book is a dead giveaway, thanking his heroes for all of their input, and conveniently neglecting to gather any input from his villains.

For a little perspective:

It can throw a wave of agony nearly half a mile

You know, the thought of the unchecked proliferation of nukes after the fall of the Soviet Union was scary, but at least now we're making more eco-friendly weapons for future terrorists.

(did anyone else notice the vacuum bomb test was reported 9/11/07? meh, whatever)
Still, the snazzy music in this promo video has me sold.

I had just finished a bowl of Ramen noodles when I read this.

I have also:

subsisted on Ramen

been severely financially impacted when Ramen fluctuated between 3/dollar and 10/dollar

hit the lowest of lows and stolen a case of Ramen out of a parked car*

contemplated writing a "101 Ramen" recipe book

somehow not grown to hate Ramen; in the best of times between steak and lobster, I still stock up on the noods.

Thank you, Mr. Ando.

I purchased a new bowling ball last week, and was surprised when I picked it up to find that it smells like black cherry.
So now I have a high-performance 16-pound Gobstopper.
I'm glad I got the color I did; I'm not a big fan of wintergreen.
