..Change that. Worth Dying For is his latest novel and according to Amazon doesn't get released until 19 October 2010. How did you get an early copy Miles?

Sorry folks, just noticed I had missed a few messages! Bru - no killing involved I promise!I received a copy from the publishers, I began reviewing books in August for my blog and receive a number of ARC's / Proofs and Lee Child's was one of them.
Hope that answers your question and apologies for the delay in replying. Have a good Christmas Bru/Kat ;-)
I wanted to introduce myself here. I almost feel as if I should confess Lee Child's books as a guilty pleasure. Not because there's anything wrong with them, but because a few years ago I wouldn't have believed I'd enjoy them so much.I'm a historical romance author, and though I try to read widely I know my prejudices. I prefer books written by women and I don't like thrillers.
Why did I even pick one up? Because of a brief connection. Years ago Lee Child and I were both authors on an event called Get Caught Reading At Sea. Yes, a bunch of authors and readers went on a cruise.
Lee and I met in the special check in desk for the authors and went on board together and one of those pesky photographers caught us as yet another happy couple! We chuckled about it, found our cabins, and I didn't see much of him the rest of the time, me being on romance panels and such, and him not.
So when I saw one of his books on the library shelves I thought I'd try it, and the rest is history.
It's hard for me to say why I like the books so much, but I'll try in another post.
Cheers,
Jo

Not as big, but yes. Been published over 20 years. Glad to be here.

One in between bigger, deeper reads and such. Never murder mysteries or thrillers, or suspense. Someone I love convinced me to try Jack Reacher and now I am hooked absolutely. I don't know that I will read much more in this genre. It is really Jack that I like not so much the thriller. Nice to meet a like minded friend.

The reason I decided to start reading the Jack Reacher novels is because like Reacher I am a former Army MP. Being such as I read these books I see myself thinking the same way Reacher does, the way he deals with certain situations isn't as far fetched as some people think.
It's funny. I was really into fantasy fiction until recently. Now my mother in law has me hooked on reacher and my wife has me hooked on Stephanie plum! Crazy!

noticed no one had written anything so wanted to say hello and hope we get some discussions going on the Jack Reacher series!!
