I could never do Reacher either. I dunno, I'm pretty much the epitome of mindless action and my idea of high lit is a sarcastic vampire and her supernatural and celestial colleagues saving the world (again), but there's something ineffably clunky about such efforts. It all feels a bit assembled by computer (I imagine a room full of typewriters networked by steam and pneumatic tubes clacking away, random sheets of type ejected from various parts, collected by a weary intern and assembled into the final product).
