On: Ask HN: What is the best thing you read in 2024?

Someone here in HN wrote that he/she read all of Jack Reacher’ 20 books, I’m doing the same and now I just read 2 of its books in a week.

It’s a light read, something to get your mind of coding.

Similarly, I've read all of the dozen+ Gray Man books, and they are also great light reading if you like international operative type genre.

If you really get into them here’s a few series that are along similar lines

- Prey series by John Sandford

- Bosch series by Michael Connelly (He’s the “Lincoln Lawyer’s half-brother). Also a series on Amazon Prime

- Orphan X series by Mark Greany

I’ve followed all of these (as well as Jack Reacher and Gray man) series for years and have read all of them. Great brain candy.

Wow thanks! Unfortunately I stopped at Reacher’s third book, there’s something about Jack’s sleeping with all the women so far that is making me uncomfortable.
