I'm sorry to tell you, but John Grisham is still alive. :) He is only 54 years old don't mourn over him yet.
His last book "Playing for Pizza" was released a couple months ago. Assuming he writes one book a year at most, something should be in the book shelves by November 2008, the latest.
Do you mean some of his book titles?
East of Eden
Of mice and men
The Grapes of Wrath
The Pearl

John Grisham has written a total of twenty-three novels.
All but six are fictional legal thrillers. The remaining are A Painted House, Skipping Christmas, The Bleachers, The Innocent Man, Playing for Pizza, and Ford County.
The Innocent Man is his only non-fiction book, written about a man falsely accused of murder.
A Painted house is a story about a young boy growing up and experiencing life's hardships.
Skipping Christmas is a Christmas comedy. This book was made into the movie "Christmas with the Kranks"
The Bleachers is a bout a town with a legendary high school football team and a dark secret.
Playing for Pizza is about an American football player who is cut from his team in America and ends up playing for a team in Italy.
Ford County is a collection of Grisham's short stories.
"The Firm" by Grisham is definitely worth a read. It's very compelling and offers new insights into the corporate world; how lawyers function etc.
There's also a movie should you be interested.
The Associate was officially released on 22 Jan 2009, although my library started checking out copies on 16 Jan 2009
This is probably late but he has won the Galaxy British Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005, The Peggy V. Helmerich Distinguished Author Award in 2005, and the USC scripter Award in 1998. He has most likely won more but this is all I know of.
John Grisham lives in Charlottesville Virginia. I see him around town every couple of months.
She is the wife of Mitchell Y. McDeere from John Grishams "The Firm" which also is a movie from 1993 and a televison series based on the book.
