Reading The Brethren by John Grisham, seen loads of films based on his books but never read one until last year on hols that was left behind. This one is a great read too very easy to read and get into

Not a true story but could just as well have been. Definately written as though it's the childhood autobiography of Charlie Fox (the narrator) whose father decides it's a fine idea to leave civilisation for the Honduran jungle. Paul Theroux's an excellent writer. Grisham's good too, though for legal thrillers I prefer Scott Turow.
