SOMEONE GET HARRISON FORD ON THE PHONE RIGHT FUCKING NOW

Probably got too bored reading one of his books.

The only book of his I read was Clear and Present Danger. Seen some of the movies which were just
ok. The Hunt For Red October was the best movie in my opinion.

Read a lot of his stuff. The non-fiction was just plain great. Marine,Fighter Wing and carrier where the best. Let you see how units in the real world worked.

sad to hear. I attempted to read several of his books and could never make it through one.

You should give the eulogy

This business got out of hand, and he was not lucky enough to live through this.

R.I.P. May his eulogy be 1,400 pages long. Nobody wore a white suit quite like him.

Good thing he had so many ghost writers, he can have Tupac like production from the grave.

Start with "Go Dog, Go!" and work your way up from there.

Ever read The Destroyer series jimmy? Love those books.

YES! A lot more entertaining then "The Executioner". How many times can you read about a body count piling up?

Well Remo and Chiun did basically the same thing, just more interestingly imo.

Dallas, are you thinking of Tom Wolfe by chance?

I liked the video game spin-offs of his novels more than anything.

Destroyer is the shit. Fucking top Notch books. I have read about half of them.

Yeah I got my authors named Tom mixed up. I really need to lay off the Robotussin DM. Nice catch though.

I was into his stuff when I was younger. I read a good amount of the Ryan-verse books and the Rainbow Six novel. Fast, breezy, well-researched, bathroom quality pablum. Nothing earth-shattering in his themes but I was usually engrossed and entertained.

Back off, Warchild. Seriously.

Well, as much as you all think he sucked, he made a lot of money, and as a stupid writer, I would rather make money than be acclaimed 100 years later. Hope he spent some of it before he croaked though.

I should say that I only read Red Storm Rising (I think) when I was in a summer break during HS and had literally nothing to do. Seriously the books could be cut by 1/3rd if he had a better editor.
