You may be asking yourself, "Why should I listen to a random guy who I don't even know as to what books I should read?" Good question. (If you asked my wife, she would probably say you shouldn't. She stopped listening to me a long time ago, but I digress.) Anyway, here's the answer, because I'm just like you. I've been married for just short of an eternity. I have a couple of kids, a job, and a bunch of bills. I love sports, booze, swearing, hanging out with the fellas, and reading. I read a lot. I read at lunch, I read on the throne, I read every night in bed before drifting off to a fitful sleep (Why am I reading as opposed to doing something a little bit more cardio intensive in bed before going to sleep? See above.) Anyway, I've been building my library for a few years now and have over 270 volumes in it. I'll be posting a couple of reviews a week (in theory). I'll start with some of my favorites from the past and add new books as I finish them. Read the reviews, buy the books, and enjoy!

Kill Shot by Vince Flynn

This book is in that fairly predictable 'super bad ass American spy/assassin hunts down and kills every piece of crap terrorist he can find' genre.  This is fine with me, as I rather like that genre.  Maybe it's because 'ol Nats hasn't gotten in a fight since the 3rd grade, and that was with a girl, and he lost.  Maybe it's because the only thing he can bring himself to kill is time.  Whatever it is, I (he? I've confused my/himself at this point) likes Flynn's work and always buy it as soon as it comes out. 

While I did enjoy this one, it was a little different.  There was a plot twist or two that didn't make a hell of a lot of sense.  Also, he kind of wrapped it up in a hurry, like he was tired of writing it and said 'f it, I'm just gonna jump to the end'.  Anyway, not Flynn's best work, but still entertaining.  Buy it and enjoy.
