Anttarch Brandy, Assistant director of training, Hamilton County Board of Mental Retardation & Developmental Disabilities:

        The Partner by John Grisham (Dell; $7.99).

        “Grisham's writing puts you into the story. You can visualize what he's talking about. And I like the twists and turns. You never know what to expect. This one is about a lawyer who fakes his own death to get a large amount of money. His partners in the firm begin to piece together what he did and search for him to bring him to justice, because he's bilked them out of a lot of money. There are a lot of people after him. The ending is not what you expect.”

        The Rev. R. Nathanial Mitchell, Teacher, School for Creative and Performing Arts; pastor, Mount Sinai Baptist Church

        The Holy Bible

        “Actually, now I'm reading the Bible. Usually when I read it, it's for study purposes, honing in on a specific scripture for a special occasion. Now, I am just reading it for substance — the drama, the irony, the story — the same reasons you read any novel. It has little novellas all through it. I started at the beginning of January, and I'm in the book of Exodus, the second book. But I'm not on a set schedule.”
