"A Painted House" by John Grisham

Nowadays I am reading a novel "A Painted House" by John Grisham. Its about a small boy named Luke living in a small town. His father has rented a land and grown cotton. They have hired Mexicans and hillbilly to pick their cotton. Luke, his parents and grandfather Pappy also picked cotton. Luke dream is to be in Cardinals baseball team rather than a framer like his father.
The story seems simple but quite interesting. I've enjoy every bit of it so far and feel it will be more interesting when i move forward.
Someone may have a question in his mind why a novel?
And i would simply answer because I am alone these days in Lahore. My uncle and his kids have been to village, so no one to play with. So I think its better to read a novel rather than spoil myself watching TV all the way. It will not only improve my English but also give a good company until my mamu and kids return back. The another good thing is I can read it at the bus stop waiting for bloody bus to arrive. I can even read it if luckily find a seat in the bus.
So far I feel its a good friend of mine.
