Oh I guess it depends on the edition. Mine's ten for some reason. But the title says "books" not "works" so I win by pedantry. Now I feel powerful.

yeah, I think some translations divide the longer volumes up in smaller chunks for some reason.

Is the Grisham one a novel?

Yeah, he wrote at least a couple of sports ones. Playing for Pizza is about an American playing pro basketball in Italy. Another one, Bleachers, is about generations of football players going back to their hometown for the funeral of their Varsity Blues style coach and grappling with his legacy.

Oh I thought the title sounded too silly to be one of his novels but I guess it's just a bit racist.
