I did a research on Google to follow the order of Jack Ryan series. So I began with Without remorse. I think it started in the 70s with the Vietnam War and it goes with time for each book, as we can see the character get older
I had a college professor who had defected from Russia during the Cold War. Clancy had once visited him at a “defectors club” to do research. He asked the professor for a list of Russian curse words. He was disappointed when the professor only gave him ten. “Are you a KGB plant, sent to sabotage my novels?” Clancy joked.
I’m presently reading The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater, which was recommended by a friend. I’m 15% into the book and find it intriguing. I’m not sure what’s going to happen. It’s unlike any book I can recall reading.
Ok, this is getting WAY away from Stephen King. Go WAY back to the late 19th century to 1869 when it was published. I’ve had this book on my shelf for 20 something years and am finally reading it today. Mark Twain is well known, but how many people have read “The Innocents Abroad”? It takes you on a ship, across the Atlantic to Europe, the Mediterranean, and on to the Middle East to tour the Holy Land stopping and exploring numerous ports along the way. This is the BEST travel book you will EVER read, and it’s NOT your modern day travel blog. It is FUNNY as heck. The passengers who signed on to this trip and thought it would be a picnic………well just read the book. 🙂
Currently reading “What Truth Sounds Like” by Michael Eric Dyson. (The best book I’ve ever read on the same subject was “Between the World and Me” by Ta-Nehesi Coates
Currently reading This Is Me by Chrissy Metz from This is US and Currently listening to The Widow by Fiona Barton. I’ll probably finish both today though.
I will name some authors: Wally Lamb Mitch Albom Pat Conroy Maeve Binchey Daniel Kalla Lisa See Alan Bradley Philippa Gregory Sue Kidd Monk These are just a few of my favorite authors.
Whella Ledesma good book. I have loved them all. You did read THE 14 books he wrote in this series before the one you have, right? Because the book you have is the 15th one in the series. I would recommend starting with the first one.
