I've been in love with Jack Reacher for over three years now and have listened to all his books. I download them from my public library. I have extreme dry eye and can't read books anymore, but the audio works fine. He, in my mind, is the perfect male and Tom Cruise, whom I like, cannot come close to a Reacher that my mind has envisioned. I will not see the movie either......Money is not important to Reacher only in that he needs it to live.....as other's have said, this is addressed in many of the books.....only thing he must have is his toothbrush....LOL! LOVE this fictional man!!!!!
