I believe Hulu has a TV series from the books. The second season is on now. We haven't watched yet, but it is on our list. He is the same author that wrote the Hoyt/Dewell books that were the basis for the Big Sky TV show.

I just finished up another Elmore Leonard book (Kindle, not audio)

I've been meaning to read Elmore Leonard -- enjoyed the "Justified" show that I believe was based on his novels. Which one did you just read, @Steve Morris?

If you have verizon phone service, you can get free Hulu (with ads) on their Disney pack.

I have it. Haven't used it.

I’d read all of the books remotely related to Justified. Now that there’s a new series, it is apparently very roughly based on City Primeval. Raylan isn’t in the book at all. The FX folks just took another Elmore Leonard book and dropped Raylan in as the main character. It’ll be interesting. 

I’ve read about a dozen Elmore Leonard books over the years, and every one has been thoroughly enjoyable. 
 

@SeaDawgWe have AT&T, but our daughter has Hulu, so we borrow it now and then. 😉

@Steve Morris, I so rarely find the TV series, or movies, measure up to the books. I get it.

I watched Foundation on TV when I was housebound. Liked it. I also like the movie I Robot. So I decided to read all the fiction Asimov wrote 😀

I highly recommend reading it “in order”

PS Mundum Visum has free audiobooks on you tube (not bad)

Spoiler alert: The books are only thematically similar to the films.

I'm currently listening to "Hell or High Water" by Peter Heller -- about the first-ever successful traversing of the Tsanpo Gorge in Tibet. It's a detailed account by Heller, himself a adventurist and expedition paddler.

"In the winter of 2002 he joined, on the ground team, the most ambitious whitewater expedition in history as it made its way through the treacherous Tsangpo Gorge in Eastern Tibet. He chronicled what has been called The Last Great Adventure Prize for Outside [magazine], and in his book Hell or High Water: Surviving Tibet’s Tsangpo River."
