I'm currently reading my 1st Tom Clancy book, after being inspired to read one from playing so much RS. Grin

I'm reading "The teeth of the Tiger".  Awesome story so far.  It's about intercepting the arabs and colombians from becoming allies.  Of course the Arabs want the colombians to smuggle them in to the U.S., and right around the corner are the Special Agents taking care of business.  Wink

Awesome so far.

     You should try Red Storm Rising, Rapid. It's the best Tom Clancy book, IMO. It's Clancy's version of what would have happened if Russia had let the Cold War go hot and attacked America & allies. Interesting read from the perspective of understanding modern war, if nothing else.

Ahhhh, that book sounds good as well Loth.  I'll have to read it as well.  After I read this book, I am definately planning on buying and reading more of his books.  (I still have to buy and read Rainbow 6)

Man, what an imagination!!!  I haven't got bored reading it yet.  Talk about interesting! Wink

Red Storm Rising was excellent, but I still think Patriot Games is his best book. The book was so good that even though the movie was by far the best of the movies, it still didn't even live up to the book IMO. He digs deep into the personal character of Jack Ryan in the book, and I think the book ending was perfect.

     I read "The Hunt For Red October" years ago, and enjoyed it so much that I started reading other Clancy books. I read "Red Storm Rising," "Patriot Games," "The Cardinal of the Kremlin," and at least one, maybe two others that I can't remember. The only one I remember anything about is Red Storm Rising, which is why I recommend it as his best work. I read "Rainbow Six" just recently (about six months ago) and am no longer a fan of Clancy's work. His style is terrible. I enjoyed R6 anyway, just because of my RS whoring.

The problem with Clancy is too much attention to detail...that man could write 6 pages in little print on how a grenade works. R6 had a lot of detail aswell which, IMO, made the book too long and drawn out.  Try Polintika..great Clancy book. Its about an organisation that attacks New York on News Years Eve, 1999.

you probably would have only used those three minutes at something even less interesting on a computer screen.

I don't know, I thought "Rainbow Six" had a kind of lame story but it kept me reading anyway. I started reading "the Bear and the Dragon" a while back but never got really far, gotta go back to that book sometime.

LOTR is an amazing trilogy and is by far the best fantasy work ever written imo, I'm not going to read Harry Potter because I think her style is just too amateuristic, although she has a lot of vivid imagination... Also I like to be able to keep teasing my friends who read the books.

When it comes to SciFi I really love the "Hugo and Nebula"-prize winner collections, I haven't had the guts to venture out into the real SciFi jungle yet though but I probably will sometime in the future.

Right now I don't have much time for reading but I try to get back to my book "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene, awesome book that really explains how modern physics work and makes it sound easy. I'd recommend it to anyone. After this I plan to read a collection of Japanese stories and poems titled "Essays in Idleness" by Yoshida Kenko, written in the 14th century.

Currently reading "Schopenhauer's Porcupines: Intimacy and Its Dilemmas - Five Stories of Psychotherapy"

...oh and I am also skimming through this month's Nature Immunology.

Anyone here remotely interested in *any* of these things?
