Just a very short note today. The book is Playing for Pizza by John Grisham. Yes, that John Grisham, he of the legal thrillers. However, this one reads as if he was on vacation and was writing just for fun, just for himself, about something that just happened to catch his fancy. A very mediocre NFL quarterback finds himself in Italy playing for the Mighty Panthers of Parma. This is the story of his 9-month stay. Unfortunately, it is not very interesting, doesn't go into any depth or description of his experiences, and doesn't even have a definite wrap-up to what he's going to do next. The words used by the reviewers on the bookcover were lighthearted, winsome, delightfully comic, charming, etc. Oh well.
