    RIP Tom Clancy

    I've enjoyed reading Tom Clancy's books about as much as I've enjoyed any author. What a truly great researcher and writer. RIP.

    Likewise. 66 seems way too young.

    Red Storm Rising is still one of my favorites of his. I think I've read it like five times. Without Remorse is number two as it introduced my all time favorite Clancy character, John Clark. Willem Defoe was a great choice to portray him in the movies.

    I'll always remember reading Hunt for Red October for the first time. What a great novel. It also schooled me on how Birddog pilots a small fishing boat.
