(Quick Reference)
                list
Purpose
Lists instances of the domain class.
Examples
// list everything
def results = Book.list()// list 10 results
def results = Book.list(max: 10)// list 10 results, offset by 100
def results = Book.list(max: 10, offset: 100)// list 10 results, offset by 100, orderd by title in descending order
def results = Book.list(max: 10, offset: 100, sort: "title", order: "desc")// list all books, eagerly fetching the authors association
def results = Book.list(fetch: [authors: "eager"])
When 
max is specified as a named argument this will return a 
PagedResultList which has a getTotalCount() method to return the total number of matching records for pagination. Two queries are still run, but they're run for you and the results and total count are combined in the 
PagedResultList.
