Tom Clancy, RIP

[Snipe]

Tom Clancy was a Great American.

Jack Ryan is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. That man was a Patriot with a capital P.


Tom Clancy owned his own tank. He would have been a nice neighbor to have in the end of days! I would love to own a tank, but my wife is afraid that I would get drunk and invade Dayton, killing the men and sterilizing the women.

May God Bless Tom Clancy.

He wrote one of my favorite stories of all time: Hunt for Red October.

RIP.

Tom Clancy always seemed like an interesting person with his personla back story. He was an insurance salesman up until his mid-thirties where he finally took the leap and followed his passion to become a prodigious and wildly successful writer.

Sadly, I've never read a Tom Clancy novel. The backlog seemed too daunting for me to start tackling and I always opted for other novels instead. In his honor, I have bought The Hunt for Red October and will read it at some point, I'm sure.

RIP.

Also as suspenseful a movie as I've ever seen. Very well done.

The Sum of All Fears is one of the greatest books I've ever read. This man made every minute technical detail of a nuclear bomb exploding seem more action packed and suspenseful than 100 Hollywood car chases.

Rest in Peace.

As good as the Film is. It doesn't do the book justice.
