The Rainmaker

Looks like I'm gaining on this reading list after all. I haven't found much to do otherwise, so I bet I'll continue and at least get through a few more.

The Rainmaker is a wonderfully-told tale of a young law student, written in the first person and in present tense throughout. Quite an amazing feat, I might add. It's a 600-page paperback; I doubt I could write its equivalent.

This kid, Rudy Baylor, takes us through his last semester of law school, passing the bar, suing an insurance company and winning a $50,200,000 verdict for his client. At the end, he gets the girl he wanted and ends up killing her husband. Sound interesting? It's all there.

On to The God Delusion...
