Worth Dying For
Lee Child’s 15th Jack Reacher thriller, Worth Dying For, comes out on Tuesday. I didn’t block out a day on my calendar this week, so I’m not sure what to do. Dare I start it Tuesday night? Must I wait for next weekend? I don’t know the answers. What I do know is that once I start it, I’ll have a heck of a time putting it down.
Usually there’s a year between novels, but 61 Hours (which I wrote about here), came out in May, and it seems that the two form a linked pair. I could try putting the new one aside until May, having been conditioned to a year’s wait. Had I been really desperate, I would have ordered it from UK Amazon, since the British edition was published at the end of September. I could have had it days ago.
My bet is that I’ll start it Tuesday night, read a little bit each night through Friday, then finish it Saturday. More later.
