The first Jack Reacher movie, based on the novel One Shot and starring Tom Cruise and Rosamund Pike, was released in December 2012. Killing Floor was an immediate success and launched the series which has grown in sales and impact with every new installment. Always a voracious reader, he decided to see an opportunity where others might have seen a crisis and bought six dollars' worth of paper and pencils and sat down to write a book, Killing Floor, the first in the Jack Reacher series. But he was fired in 1995 at the age of 40 as a result of corporate restructuring. He went to law school in Sheffield, England, and after part-time work in the theater he joined Granada Television in Manchester for what turned out to be an eighteen-year career as a presentation director during British TV's 'golden age.' During his tenure his company made Brideshead Revisited, The Jewel in the Crown, Prime Suspect, and Cracker.

By coincidence he won a scholarship to the same high school that JRR Tolkien had attended. Still, it is an interesting topic for discussion.Lee Child was born October 29th, 1954 in Coventry, England, but spent his formative years in the nearby city of Birmingham. Then again, and all considered, does it really matter? Everyone does their own Camino. These shows were very entertaining, especially if one had previously read the books. Several films have been made here (US) as a mini-series on TV. That said, I am a fan of the Lee Child book series. So, doing this in rigid adherence to 'Reacher's Rules' is unlikely - at least for me.

Then again, is wearing a shoulder harness with a prodigious butt pack, really a low-carry backpack?

Then again - I could be and likely am - wrong. I cannot remember his name, except to recall that I thought he was either British or Irish. I cannot get beyond lots of cargo type pockets in my pants and jacket, and some sort of haversack, over the shoulder.Ī few years back, one of our fellows in this forum was seriously doing Caminos with only a butt / fanny pack, holding no more than about 10 liters. I have considered and thought about this issue a lot. It is possible to wear a vest, a multi-pocketed belt, or a clever jacket to manage to carry enough 'basic' gear to accomplish this. I opine that someone arriving at an albergue without a rucksack might have a problem establishing they are a 'real' pilgrim.
