Blue Moon in the Jack Reacher series. They're indulgent, half James bond, half Sherlock Holmes. I used to feel embarrassed reading fiction as an adult, but now I'm like hey, a book a week (or sometimes a day) of something pleasurable is way better than a book every six months of something taxing. I've got a toddler and I'm pregnant and I'm so glad to have this series so I never have to think about what my next read is. I'm on like book 20/30 though, so a little worried for when it ends.
It's been so much fun to follow reacher through the technical advances of the 90s and early 2000s! Cameras everywhere, cell phones, internet, debit cards all changing his way of life book to book, really neat.
Suggestions welcome for an equally easy/engaging long series after this!
