I read all the Jack Reacher books a couple years ago, and one of the fascinating things about the character is his aversion to owning things. In some of the books, he talks about it a little and it’s an interesting insight to that worldview. I think they kind of stopped talking about it in newer books, and the character has gotten kind of less interesting because of it. At one point, he inherits a house, and that seems to become a minor trauma for him!

this is the first thing i’ve ever heard about this franchise that makes me at all interested in checking it out.

Adding in - if you watch the first season of the Amazon show, it’s pretty accurate to the books. The second season went off the rails a bit, but the recent season was alright (other than Anthony Michael Hall being a pretty one dimensional actor).
