The Dude- Jeff Bridges I saw some recent pictures of Val Kilmer with the hype going on around the new Top Gun. Man, the cancer ravaged him.

It was okay, but not as good as the movies you mentioned. Jim from the office was a more believable Jack Ryan than I thought he would be. May give it a watch then. If you're not a fan of the books, there's no frame of reference for this, but the reviews I've read of the series, I wish they'd have just changed his name to Jack Ryan Jr. The plot lines and the level of tech stuff they seem to get into match what Jack Jr does in the most recent books.

I’ve never read any of his books. I did know he did some JRJ books. I’ve read a lot of Vince Flynn and am working my way through Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon books now. I love those.

He hit a lull about 9-10 books ago, but the last several have been fantastic. This will sound weird, but Silva's writing style is so 'comfortable' The characters are like old friends to me.

My favorite author. Just finished The New Girl. I have to slow down and enjoy the book by forcing myself to only read 2-3 chapters a night. Otherwise I zip through it so fast and then regret that I have to wait another year for his next book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those. And thank you. I just finished up Clive Cussler's NUMA Files series (those that are on Audible anyway) and have been needing a new series. How the hell I haven't tried any Vince Flynn to this point is beyond me. Was a story consultant for Season 5 of 24, and lists as his literary influences: Hemingway (check), Tolkien (check), Tom Clancy (bullseye), and Robert Ludlum (inner bull).

milehiiu Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Top Gun (1986) Cast: Then and Now ★ 2019 Kelly McGillis. Wow ! Suddenly, I've lost that Lovin' Feeling. LOL I guess the producers of the remake did too, as they did not offer her a part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger are both really damn good. Sum Of All Fears is entertaining enough. Haven't watched Shadow Recruit or the Amazon series. I actually prefer the Ryanverse novels to the movies, just because of the depth Tom Clancy went into. Some of his later "original" Jack Ryan novels would require a trilogy.....each. Executive Orders (probably my favorite) has a word count of 462K. That's equal to all three of Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings volumes combined. Hell, it's a 52 hour audiobook. Still, probably my favorite cross-media character. Can you give me a list in order of the Jack Ryan novels? I am going to start reading them. Thank you in advance. https://www.howtoread.me/jack-ryan-reading-order/ does that order look correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
