    I also read Jack Reachers and am on book 20-something so far. Last read was blue moon.
    For Jack reacher fans i recommend also trying the orphan x series by Greg Hurwitz.
    Will give the orphan x series a whirl pal thank you.

    Class artist and that song Pocket as you say. His masterpiece for me "Wreck of the Edmund FitzGerald" was brilliant, as was all of his work.

    Fully agree with your comments - kentmillerman, and Pocket rocket.

    Both those songs are in my performance repertoire. His live and recorded versions are brilliant. (I find them bloody hard to remember when I do them because they're so long - especially the Edmund Fitzgerald!)

    For me there are some memories tied up in the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I moved to Michigan in February 1975 for work and remember the night the EF sank in November of that year. It was just a couple of hundred miles to the north of me on Lake Superior and reported extensively on the local news. When the record came out a few months later, it received major airplay on local radio and I bought the excellent LP "Summertime Dream" which included it.

    In 2014, my wife and I, together with a couple of my daughters and a grandson, made a memory lane trip back to Michigan to visit old haunts. We went to the "Maritime Sailors Cathedral" in Detroit and also took an extended trip to the Upper Peninsular of Michigan to visit Whitefish Bay on the southern shore of Lake Superior where there is an excellent Edmund Fitzgerald museum next to the lighthouse. The whole thing was very special.

    I'd recommend the "Lightfoot" book if your interested in knowing more about the man. He wasn't an easy character and definitely had his demons.

    I've read nearly all the Reacher books but can't stand the films/TV series, specifically because they mix events from across books.

    I've watched most of the Harlen Coben stuff on Netflix and love it but didn't like the books which I tried to read after seeing the TV series.

    Must be down to the order things are done creating a preference?

    Currently reading Grey Mountain by John Grisham.
    Same here with Harlen Coben Cam.
    Can?t get on with the books.
    I always prefer reading a book than something on kindle. Just doesn?t seem the same.
    Maybe it?s an an age thing 😃
