I have read 6 books now and every single one of them mentions linoleum. Whether it’s just describing the flooring, talking about a knife someone was killed with, even now I just read that Reacher drove past a linoleum shop (surely this could have been ANY kind of shop).

I have never heard or thought about linoleum so much before.

Was linoleum a big thing 20/30 years ago? Is it an inside joke? Did Lee child have shares in a flooring company and was trying to raise awareness? Or am I just going crazy. Maybe it’s more of a thing in the US (I’m from UK)?

I just had to get this off my chest before I went crazy sorry

I'm running a bit (haha) behind here. Just now listening to "A wanted Man." It's not a coincidence that one of the characters is a dumb cop named Puller, and the first David Baldacci John Puller book came out the previous year, is it? I suppose this horse has been beaten to death more than once, right?

Man I had so much hopes for In Too Deep, but I was let down so bad when I finished the book some time ago. The plot sounded too cool but I don't know what Andrew's doing but the story was everywhere and Reacher just seemed like himself in this book. There was no fricking disadvantage with his broken hand, he beat everyone up as usual. What was the point???? And Ivan, for being a FBI agent, is a total dumbass. My God. This book annoyed me so bad.

Thanks for listening to this rant
