I got hooked on reading early, the grade school library had Tom Swift and The Hardy Boys books, and I devoured them all. By high school I was reading those thick Tom Clancy books that are 900 plus pages. I read so much I developed a speed reading habit, and now had hundreds of books of my own, three entire floor to ceiling book cases of hardbacks alone.
Yep, I was into reading fantasy books when I was younger and I also read a bit of Tom Clancy, it's not kids that are the problem it's schools, but you'll never see parents or teachers admit to it in a public setting.
I actually have some thick Clancy books that I haven’t gotten around to reading. Red October and Sum of All Fears being two I want to read first
Red October is not a bad book to start with. Sum of all Fears will piss you off if you saw the Ben Afleck movie adaptation.
I heard that. In the book it’s Muslim terrorists and not Russian right? Was Clancy in the military or did he just have very good contacts for Military info?
Red October is fantastic. My first Clancy book and I was hooked from the first few pages, it was so much fun trying to piece together this conspiracy and how the pieces will move before it all happens. A sufficient level of technical explanation for the nerds like me as well.
My mom made us go to the library from a young age and also made us listen to cassette tapes that had vocabulary words to learn. At the time I hated it but I can thank my mother that I’m a heavy reader today
