I read them because Mom read one and gave it to me. And then I read them all. They are action adventure novels, well I guess there's a mystery of some kind but basically it's an action movie in a book.

Does anyone have a Roku box?
We do. In fact, I spent a good chunk of the day organizing my Plex account so I could stream stuff and play downloads and whatnot.

I first heard of the character via people griping Cruise was all wrong to play it. I gather it's some sort of Mack Bolan/Remo Williams-type guy?

I don't have cable and currently use my blu ray player for streaming Amazon, Netflix and hulu. But I know the Roku box has more channels and options - do you like it? Would it be worth it to get the extra stuff?
It's been floated as a christmas present from my Dad.

Jack Reacher is described in the books at 6'4" 250 lbs of solid muscle who doesn't work out but gets his physique naturally (or whatever) and is ex military, has a broken nose and some other scars and even though he can look tough and scary he still is sexy enough to make certain women swoon into his bed.

askye,
I took have a roku box. Happy to answer questions as well.
I love it. I use daily. I have the upgraded one, so I can put video on a USB drive, plug that into Roku and watch video from it.

So the channels that you get on the Roku - do they have set schedules of streaming or can you pick things. Or does it depend on the channel.
Plus if you were getting a new one which version would you get?

I don't know who those are.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
askye,
so admittedly the roku box comparison chart is not easy to suss out (at least this was true the last time I checked it on roku web page). But I think I have the XS which is the one where you can insert a USB drive. It also is the one that goes with HD TVs. So if your dad has an HDTV, I think you need to do the XS. Does your dad have wireless that is good? because that is kind of essential for a Roku. I can't get my parents one because they don't have wireless and can't get Ethernet over near the tv.
So, the channels I have on Roku are Netflix (I connected it to my Netflix account, so I stream Netflix from Roku), Amazon Instant (same thing), you can also connect Pandora channel. I also have a channel that allows me to stream content from the USB drive and a private channel that allows me to stream video and music from a Internet service.
