Lee Child
I've discovered writers by reading books left in airplane seats and weird hotels.
Lee Child
I know I'm smarter than an armadillo
Lee Child
It gives me some kind of chance to survive the night. How are those better odds? If you come back with me, you're guaranteed to survive the night. No, Reacher said. If I come back with you, I'm guaranteed to die of shame.
Lee Child
I'm not a vagrant... I'm a hobo. Big difference.
Lee Child
Practically any Western has a homesteader in trouble, and a mysterious rider shows up off the range, solves the problem over two or three days, and then rides off into the sunset.
