'Lee Child' in Brisbane

Lee Child, one of the bestselling crime thriller writers and the creator of world wide beloved tough guy 'Jack Reacher', came to a bookstore in Brisbane yesterday where he had a fan meeting to celebrate his new Jack Reacher series '61 Hours'. I was at the bookstore the time he arrived, but not standing in the long queue people had been making an hour before the meeting started.

Though I had his two books, 'Nothing to Lose' and 'Killing Floor' that I have recently bought at 5$ promotion price, I have not got my hands on both of them at all. So I am definitely not the person who eager to have his autograph on his new book which is 'hard cover' I have never been bothered to buy. But I was there because I wanted to know what kind of people would be on the line.

The two men standing at the very front were, I presumed, early fifties with gray-white hair, which I had expected it might be. Behind the two elders were mostly the thirties and forties. In fact, there are some twenties, but the line was dominated by those who may really need that 'big' book with big fonts.

Seeing those people led me to come up with a question. Would I still have the passion for what I am interested in now when I aged? I, of course, know the answer which is no, but will try as much as I can to turn it to yes.
