I am officially hooked on this writer.

Jack Reacher is my new hero.

Just finished his latest book, "Gone Tomorrow"

I am not what I consider a heavy reader, usually about an hour or so at a time, more if I am traveling on long flights.

I started this one at 11:00 AM on Saturday and finished by 8:00 PM

This is the 5th book of his that I've read. Haven't been disappointed yet.

Yup, I'm a Lee Child fan, starting with the publication of his first book. I've kind of lost track of his later works in that I can't remember which ones I've read and which ones I haven't.

I absolutely love his books. Have you read any of Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp series? I love those even more.

He's not a fast runner, but he doesn't need a watch to tell you the time(to the minute). :)

The only author of this genre that I enjoy equally well is James Lee Burke(Dave Robicheaux).

I'm not reading them in any particular order, but I do catch the occasional reference in one book to a previous one.

In fact, I started with the 8th book in the series, The Enemy, which is a prequel and set back when he was in the military. I didn't realize until later that all the other books were set after he left the military.

Being from New York, you'll like his latest, it is set in NYC. As was Trip Wire.

Try his second book, Die Trying, next. That one really sticks in my mind.

I love his books. I save them for when I have long flights and waits in airports.

Love reading these books. Unfortunately I have to order them as the local bookstores don't carry them most of the time.
