    [quote="Guiness"]What's that, three? Well, no one has mentioned Tom Clancy's Red October yet. It's great.[\quote]

    I read the Clancy's series when I was in the military. Its a good read, the earlier books are better than his current installments. When he had Ryan become President, I lost interest.

        Actually I thought Red Storm Rising was better than Red October...altough both were very good.

          OT here but,

          Your a Queens fan right?

          What did you think of signing Baskett, I really wanted him on the packers?

          They signed a few UFA that I liked, including him. They had the whole 6th and 7th rounds to get ready for the signings.

            Digital Fortress???

              I don' t read all that much, I spend too much time watching movies and farting around on internet. But everytime I read a book, it is a great adventure, and I tell myself, "Man, I gotta do more of this."

              I think people who love to read tend to read ALL KINDS of stuff. Classics, detective novels, mysteries, romance novels. Real readers devour everthing. Lazy readers like me try and pick only "good books", thinking I got to make every book count.

                Underboss by Sammy the Bull and Peter Maas is one of my all time favorites. Wiseguy from Nicholas Pileggi with Henry Hill is outstanding, also - even though you know the basic story from Goodfellas.

                  LOL...Me too...It's like a chore to get started but then I can't put it down. Real readers can't wait to pick it up...

                  WTF is wrong with them.

                    I listen to audio books rather than read them. I can be doing things and still listen...I just don't have the time to completely dedicate to reading.
