What are some of John Grisham's movies?

I'm not quite sure but to my knowledge John Grisham was a writer, he might've been making movies too, that I don't know.

Do you read any of his books?
1_Wizard
I never have but I heard his books have been translated into 42 languages, I think he's a popular author.

Wow, that's a lot of languages to translate a book in. I believe his books are suspenseful and involve law related stories since his background is a lawyer.

Oh that's really cool, I heard he was writing thrillers as well. It amazes me how people from different backgrounds write books. Grisham was a lawyer, take Benjamin Spock for example, he was a pediatrician who was writing books too.

If you have a strong background in something, I think its great to write books to educate or entertain the population. I have always wanted to write books and have even started writing a couple.

Yeah , Spock wrote "you know more than you think you do". So I think anyone can begin writing, using what they're best at and own knowledge.

Absolutely and in today's world it is so much easier to get your material published online through places like Amazon. Lots of customers to reach quickly if you can find the right channels and market properly.
