A lot of people on MR did download the free TOR eBooks when they were free. So a lot of people would have them. I have them. So I think that should count for something.

I think the Jack Reacher novel should "NOT" be disqualified just because the author at a later date decided to go back and write a prequal.
It's like saying you should read the Magicians Nephew before Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe when in the latter there are references made to the fact that it's the first in the series. When due to later publications it is now NOT the first in the series. Publication order trumps chronological order for a book read in my opinion |

Don't worrry, nobody's going to disqualify anything. If you want to nominate the 18th book in a series for our monthly read, and it gets voted for, that's fine. We don't have a rule that only the first book in a series is illigible, despite what some might wish.

I've never seen the movies, but obviously both the movies and the radio show took great liberties with the book. Mary was his wife.

Interesting that Raffles jumped off to such a commanding lead, and has since faded to fourth place.
That probably means something, but I don't know what. |
