Happy birthday to John Grisham! I am such a big fan of his-- I think I have read all of his novels, even the ones that were not best sellers.

John Grisham Born Feb 8, 1955
Best selling author John Grisham was born Feb. 8, 1955. Although he dreamed of a career as a professional baseball player he chose to attend law school to become a tax attorney. It didn't take long for him to gravitate to defense law. As for his first book... well, that was just a hobby!
