Having just completed my latest book, Tom Clancy's "The Bear and the Dragon" - all 1137 pages worth - after going through a series of his books earilier in the year; "Debt of Honor," "Executive Order", and "Rainbow Six" I have to say, I'm really tired. It never occured to me that reading could be such a strenuous ordeal. Or maybe I'm just getting old and my brain is breaking down in a manner similar to that of my body after a rigorous day of sports.

Clancy has always been a favorite author but I took a break from reading his books for the last year and a half or so just because I wanted to see what else was out there. I read an excellent book called "Wild at Heart," some of Dennis Miller's "Rants" series, and reaquainted myself with Elmore Leonard. It was all great reading but I felt like I needed to get back to my old favorites and there were still a few books of Clancy's that I hadn't read yet so I started early May with "Debt of Honor" and it concluded recently with "B&D." Funny thing though, When I read the last sentence of that book, I closed it and let out a huge sigh, the likes which I usually only reserve for after a strenuous game of tennis or something. I purchased his latest book, "Red Rabbit" which is something of a prequel to his Jack Ryan series but at this moment I'm content with letting it gather dust on my bookcase. I'm just gonna go watch "Alias" or something, get my spy drama fix that way.

I am getting old ;)
