I think the only adaptation of his I've seen is Get Shorty, but I really liked it. Too bad, we could have used more stories like that.

Very sad... Justified is one of my favorite shows and I was a fan of his westerns, particularly.

His books were simple but enjoyable and, man, he cranked them out. I think he published at least 40 and there's probably 40 more that never made it or are half done, etc. A good long life. Adios, El.
