I like John Grisham's books for the most part. But I know I won't read them a second time, so they are good candidates for wild releases!

Book description (via Amazon):

"Trumble is a minimum-security federal prison, a "camp," home to the usual assortment of relatively harmless criminals--drug dealers, bank robbers, swindlers, embezzlers, tax evaders, two Wall Street crooks, one doctor, at least five lawyers.

And three former judges who call themselves the Brethren: one from Texas, one from California, and one from Mississippi. They meet each day in the law library, their turf at Trumble, where they write briefs, handle cases for other inmates, practice law without a license, and sometimes dispense jailhouse justice. And they spend hours writing letters. They are fine-tuning a mail scam, and it's starting to really work. The money is pouring in.

Then their little scam goes awry. It ensnares the wrong victim, a powerful man on the outside, a man with dangerous friends, and the Brethren's days of quietly marking time are over."

I finally got to it ;-)
This was my first Grisham book but I have to say I'm not too impressed. The plot is quite good but the writing seems too superficial and there's not enough depth to the characters for my taste (e.g. I kept mixing up the brethren and Aaron Lake seemed very flat). But if you want some light entertainment it's okay.
