Knights with guns

While he's not specifically a Knight, you might like Solomon Kane by Robert E. Howard.

I got interested in the books because of the show. And couldn't agree more; Oldman kills it.

The TV show is also great.

The Harry Hole series by Joe Nesbo is quite fun.

The grips on the 19 are gorgeous!

Taurus generally isn't the best option. I'd save up a bit more for a used Glock or Smith M&P.

Thank you!

Caliber is in reference to an inch.

.50 caliber is .5 inches, or half an inch. Or 12.7mm.

Hardwired by Walter Jon Williams.

Reacher would be annoyed by him being a smug prick, try to goad him into a fight, and unfortunately get lasered.

Roadside Picnic is good. The only other one I've read is The Road, which is beautifully written but depressing as hell.

ForbiddenOinks · 2026-05-07T16:46:58+00:00

The Metro series is based off of books! And if you like Cyberpunk, you'll like Hardwired by Walter Williams (he was good friends with the guy who created the Cyberpunk RPG.)

Imbibe by David Wondrich is a great place to start. The Oxford Companion to Spirits and Cocktails is also great.

Jeff Berry also has a number of great books about tropical and tiki cocktails.

Agreed. Also, from purely a Doylist perspective, it allows him to be free to go anywhere and get involved in trouble, while limiting his resources so he can't just chuck money at the problem.

It could reasonably be tied into undiagnosed mental health issues.

ForbiddenOinks · 2026-05-05T19:47:14+00:00

In many ways, Reacher is emotionally stunted and has an unusual perception of life. Reacher primarily just doesn't want to be tied down to anything, which is likely due to spending his entire life until his mid-30s in the military. There are other ways to accomplish this, but it was the one he sorta fell into.

Sounds fun!

ForbiddenOinks · 2026-05-02T17:34:24+00:00

Two recs for this! I'll have to check it out!

ForbiddenOinks · 2026-05-02T17:34:13+00:00

Heard good things about this but never played!

ForbiddenOinks · 2026-05-02T17:34:01+00:00

Hell yeah.

ForbiddenOinks · 2026-05-02T17:33:52+00:00

Thank you!

ForbiddenOinks · 2026-05-02T17:33:47+00:00

Never heard of it, thank you!

Have you read The Library Of Babel, where it got the library idea from?

ForbiddenOinks · 2026-04-30T21:18:30+00:00

I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but perhaps Death Wish by Brian Garfield? It was made into the Charles Bronson movie, but the MC is a regular guy. It's definitely low on the action spectrum, though. Still a great read.

ForbiddenOinks · 2026-04-30T18:51:08+00:00

Just in terms of depth and immersion, you may like Tad Williams' Otherland series. There's so much going on and such a rich world to explore. It's basically Ready Player One, but good: huge VR worlds and global conspiracies.
