Talking 5 books, $10.02, can't beat that

So I went to my local Goodwill today and picked up 5 books, all hardcover and all good condition:

Tom Clancy:

Debt of Honor
Executive Order

John Grisham:

The Broker
The Summons
The Partner

Can anyone who has read any of these recommend one I should read first?

You can't make accusations like that without evidence. I ashume that you have some? ~PD President

Stick away from the Clancy for a while, you should read the Jack Ryan novels in order. I've never read any of those three Grisham books, but he never seems to disappoint.

Get The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, and The Cardinal of the Kremlin (All Clancy) and read them before you even think about starting on the Ryaniverse".

So, start with Grisham.

Yeah I was reading the slips on those two Clancy books and it looks like there are a few others that come first. Do you know the order? I'm gonna try to pick up the others and read them in order.

Oh I didn't see that in your post. For all who are lazy, here it is:

* The Hunt for Red October (1984)
* Patriot Games (1987)
* The Cardinal of the Kremlin (1988)
* Clear and Present Danger (1989)
* The Sum of All Fears (1991)
* Without Remorse (1993)
* Debt of Honor (1994)
* Executive Orders (1996)
* Rainbow Six (1998)
* The Bear and the Dragon (2000)
* Red Rabbit (2002)
* The Teeth of the Tiger (2003)

Wow... Looks like I'm going to have to find a lot of books before I can get to the ones I just bought.

On my way to completing the set, slowly but surely.

Just found the Sum of All Fears today for $1.00 in pretty good condition.
