I think not). Hell, I'll probably read his last turgid tome once it's remaindered--but I'll always know that I'm slumming, and will do some literary decontamination thereafter. cordially, "Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist."
Post #88,287 by drewk 3/14/03 9:20:31 AM Reply	Well ... although--"Jack Ryan is the thinking man's Forrest Gump"? thinking?? I think not Consider: "Life is like a box of chocolates ... that's all I have to say about that." vs. "The Japanese power structure believes they're facing the same economic hardships that presaged their attack on Pearl Harbor." The average American (with a 4th-grade reading ability) couldn't follow the first chapter of the typical Clancey. Sure it's bodice-rippers for guys, but at least he doesn't write/sound like an 8-year-old. === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.
