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!

Locked On by Tom Clancy

Locked On is the latest phone book sized terrorist hunting thriller from Tom Clancy.  Like all his books, it is fast paced, exciting, and wildly technical.  Also as per usual, it portrays the media and far left wing liberals as the American-hating A-Holes that many believe them to be (Nats included to a certain degree).  This one is a little different, however.  Towards the end of the book Clancy throws not one but two plot twists at you that make almost no sense at all.  They were giant reaches that leave you dumbfounded. Hell, one of them even turned into a cliff hanger for God's sake!  I'm going to go ahead and blame it on his co-auther, Mark Greaney, and pretend it didn't happen.

That being said, it is still an enjoyable read.  You always have to respect Clancy's reverence for America's military hero's.  I doubt seriously old Tom needs your money, but go ahead and shell out a few bucks for this one and enjoy....
